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). [...] Jacob Christiaan Koningsberger (1867–1951) was a Dutch biologist and politician. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 188)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 0; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 13 - 21; Anale stekels: 0; Anale zachte stralen: 12 - 23. Distinguished from all other Australian Herklotsichthys by the series of large and almost oval black spots on the flank, sometimes with a second partial row below. Herklotsichthys Species A has much smaller, round spots and is more slender, the hind edges of its scales not denticulate. Elongate wing-like scales present underneath the normal paired pre-dorsal scales.
Forms schools in coastal waters and enters inlets and lower reaches of rivers.
