Etymology: Eviota: No etymology given, suggested by Christopher Scharpt: from Latin 'eu' for 'true' and 'iota' for anything very small, in combination 'truly very small' referring to it as being the smallest vertebrate at the time it has benn described by Jenkins (thus, making the suggestion by Scharpt plausible.
Eponymy: Afele was a Samoan boy who collected the holotype from coral heads in Pago Pago. Nothing more was recorded about him. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 7; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 8 - 9; Anale stekels: 1; Anale zachte stralen: 6 - 8. This species is distinguished by the following characters: cephalic sensory-canal pore system lacking only the IT pore (pattern 2); branched pectoral-fin rays; dorsal/anal-fin formula is 9/8; the fifth pelvic-fin is ray small or rudimentary (about 10% of 4th pelvic ray); caudal fin has rows of small dark spots set close together on rays, membranes dark; presence of a small dark spot over preural centrum associated with last subcutaneous bar may be present; the scale edges are not dark (Ref. 107299).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: compressed.
Occurs on algal mats of shallow exposed reefs.
