Etymology: Craterocephalus: Greek, krater, -eros = bowl, mixing vessel + Greek, kephale = head (Ref. 45335); gloveri: Named after Mr. C.J.M. Glover, Curator of Fishes of the South Australian Museum, Adelaide.
Eponymy: Dr Charles John Melville Glover (1935–1992) was ichthyologist at the South Australian Museum, Adelaide (1964–1991) and was Curator of Fishes (1967–1991). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Maturiteit: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.2 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 44894)
Distinguished from other hardyheads by a combination of the following characters (expressed in mean): greatest body depth (mean 4.9), least body depth (mean 10.3) both in SL; eye 3.0 in head; midlateral scale count (mean 31.4). Osteologically diagnosed by the combination of the following: dentition, shape of urohyal, medial wing of pelvic bone and premaxilla. Differs further in lacking ventral processes on fifth ceratobranchial for attachment of pharyngoclavicularis internus muscle (Ref. 26685).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabits warm water (>20°C) of spring-fed pools. Upper temperature tolerance is probably not as high as C. dalhousiensis. Omnivorous. Only co-occurs with C. dalhousiensis in one spring (Ref. 44894).
