Etymology: Herklotsichthys: After Janus Adrian Herklots, Australian ichthyologist, 1820-1872.
Eponymy: Dr Geoffrey Alton Craig Herklots (1902–1986) was a British biologist, botanist and ornithologist at the University of Hong Kong (1928–1941). [...] Francis(co) Louis Nompar de Caumont, Comte de Laporte de Castelnau (1810–1880) was a career diplomat and naturalist who was born in London, studied natural science in Paris, and then led a French scientific expedition to study the lakes of Canada, [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

সামুদ্রিক; স্বাদু পানি; ঈষৎ লোনা ; গভীরতার পরিসীমা 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 24°S - 39°S, 149°W - 156°E (Ref. 188)
Southwest Pacific: eastern Australia (Queensland southward to New South Wales). Possibly merely an eastern subspecies, of which Herklotsichthys blackburni is the western counterpart; however, it seems equally close to Herklotsichthys Species C. Reported from lower Fly River, Papua New Guinea (Ref. 13533).

Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm SL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 33617); common length : 14.0 cm SL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 33617)
পৃষ্ঠীয় কাঁটা (মোট ) : 0; পৃষ্ঠীয় নরম পাখনা দন্ড (মোট ) : 16 - 19; পায়ূ কাঁটা : 0; পায়ূর নরম পাখনা্তুন্ড: 17 - 21; কশেরুকা : 41 - 42. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by lacking spots on the flank and lacking elongate wing-like scales underneath pre-dorsal scales. Most closely resembles H. blackburni but has more lower gill rakers. Separated from H. gotoi and Herklotsichthys species C by having 3 distinct dark lines upper flank. Upper caudal tip black; dorsal fin with distinct pale band.
Schooling species found in estuarine and coastal marine waters (Ref. 33617, 75154). Adults undergo spawning migration from coastal waters into upper reaches of estuaries during summer and autumn (Ref. 33617).
