Etymology: Herklotsichthys: After Janus Adrian Herklots, Australian ichthyologist, 1820-1872.
More on author: Whitley.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 14°S - 21°S, 118°E - 127°E (Ref. 188)
Eastern Indian Ocean: Western Australia. The western counterpart of Herklotsichthys castelnaui and possibly merely a subspecies.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.5 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188); common length : 8.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 188)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 0; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 13 - 21; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 12 - 23. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by lacking spots on the flank and lacking elongate wing-like scales underneath the normal paired pre-dorsal scales. Most closely resembles H. castelnaui but has fewer lower gill rakers. Separated from H. gotoi and Herklotsichthys Species C by its black tips to caudal fin and 3 distinct dark lines along upper flank.
A schooling species found in coastal waters (Ref. 188, 75154).
