Redigobius
''Redigobius'' is a genus of fish in the goby family, Gobiidae, known commonly as dualspot gobies. They are native to the western Indo-Pacific region, where they occur in estuaries and freshwater habitats just above the tidal influence.Larson, H. K. (2010)A review of the gobiid fish genus ''Redigobius'' (Teleostei: Gobionellinae), with descriptions of two new species.''Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters'' 21(2), 123-91. Some of these gobies are abundant fish species. The most widespread is the speckled goby (''R. bikolanus''), which occurs throughout the western Pacific Ocean and from Australia to Africa. Some ''Redigobius'' are kept as aquarium pets. The Fijian endemic Lever's goby (''R. leveri'') is featured on the ten-dollar bill in the 2013 series of Fijian currency.Jenkins, A.

Helen K. Larson is an ichthyologist who specialises in the fishes of the Indo-Pacific. In the 1960s and 1970s, she attended the University of Guam to study for her Bachelor's and master's degrees and while there she also worked in the local Marine Laboratory. While there she collected and described a new species of the dwarf goby from the genus ''Eviota'', ''Eviota pellucida'', the description being published in 1976 in the journal '' Copeia''. This was her first description of a new species. Her Masters was called ''Notes on the biology and comparative behaviour of ''Eviota zonura'' and ''Eviota smaragdus'' (Pisces:Gobiidae)''. She gained a PhD in Zoology from the University of Queensland and her thesis was ''A revision of the gobiid fish genus ''Mugilogobius'' (Teleostei: Gobioidei), and its systematic placement''. She moved from Guam in 1974 to work with Douglass F. Hoese at the Australian Museum in Sydney as a Technical Officer and in 1981 she took a position as Curator ...
