Etymology: Stolephorus: Greek, stole, -es = garment + Greek, pherein = to carry (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: This is a toponym; the Gulf of Carpentaria drainage is in Queensland, Australia, and the type locality was the Norman River. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Taxonomic Remarks
Species spelling and Year Paxton et al. 1989 (Ref. 7300:160).
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino; salmastro pelagic-neritic; distribuzione batimetrica 10 - 13 m. Tropical; 3°S - 32°S, 134°E - 157°E (Ref. 189)
Western Pacific: Gulf of Carpentaria, southern coast of Papua New Guinea; also Moreton Bay near Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Lunghezza alla prima maturità / Dimensione / Peso / Età
Maturità: Lm 5.0  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 189)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 19 - 20. Belly with 5 to 7 small needle-like pre-pelvic scutes. Maxilla tip pointed, reaching to or beyond hind border of pre-operculum, the latter concave, indented near maxilla tip. Anal fin origin far forward, below the second to sixth dorsal fin ray bases. The advanced anal fin and the presence of fine teeth on hyoid bones distinguish this species from others in the area.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Presumed coastal, pelagic and schooling. Probably tolerates lowered salinities, judging from the type locality and its occurrence in bays and inlets. Apparently not abundant. More material needed.
