Didogobius is a genus of small marine fish in the family Gobiidae, the true gobies.[1] They are native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The name of the genus is a compound noun made up of Dido, the mythical founder and first queen of Carthage, and the Latin gobius meaning "goby".[2]
