Etymology: Gobiodon: Latin, gobius = gudgeon + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335); howsoni: Named for Craig Howson, who provided the first author with numerous collecting and diving opportunities in the Australia-New Guinea region, resulting in the discovery of several new species (Ref. 125638).
Eponymy: Craig Howson is a long-time friend of the authors and the founding (1987) Director of North Star cruises and owner of the ‘luxurious’ Australian cruise ship ‘True North’. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Краткое описание
определительные ключи | морфология | морфометрия
колючие лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 7; членистые (мягкие) лучи спинного плавника (общее число) : 10; колючие лучи анального плавника: 1; членистые (мягкие) лучи анального плавника: 9; позвонки: 26. This species is distinguished by the following characters: colouration pattern: semitranslucent greyish with a bifurcate white stripe straddling the spinal column, back with a narrow brown stripe extending from the side of the nape to the caudal peduncle, and a wider brown stripe on the ventral part of the body extending from the pectoral-fin axil to the caudal peduncle; some smaller individuals (less than about 2.0 cm SL) have a strong yellow tint on the head and body, and lack the dorsal-most brown stripe on the side; differs from most of its congeners in having a relatively low number of pectoral-fin rays 15-17, usually 16; D VI+I,10; A I,9 (rarely I,8); branched caudal-fin rays usually 15 (sometimes 14, especially specimens < 16 mm SL), anterior dentary has a single enlarged canine posterior to the main band of smaller teeth, and the aperture of the genital papilla reaching or nearly reaching anal-fin origin when adpressed (Ref. 125637).
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Occurs in lagoon coral reefs, sheltering among dense branches of Acropora corals, especially A. longicyanthus (Ref. 125638).
