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.

Écologie
marin; eau douce; saumâtre; anadrome (Ref. 51243); profondeur 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Subtropical; 13°S - 27°S, 112°E - 126°E (Ref. 188)

Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 13.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 188); common length : 10.0 cm SL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 188)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 13 - 21; Épines anales: 0; Rayons mous anaux: 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.
