Occurring in the Indo-Pacific and comprising ca. 40 species, the waspfish family Tetrarogidae (Percomorpha: Scorpaenoidei) is characterized by a brown, laterally compressed body with a wide dorsal fin, its appearance being similar to a dead leaf (Poss 1986; Varghese 2013; Fricke et al. 2020a). Most tetrarogids inhabit a marine environment (Poss 1986, 1999; Allen and Erdmann 2012), whereas species of Tetraroge [including Tetraroge nigra (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes 1829) and Tetraroge barbata (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes 1829): Poss 1999; Fricke et al. 2020b] have been recorded exclusively from rivers (brackish and freshwater areas)(Cuvier and Valenciennes 1829; Herre 1951; de Beaufort and Briggs 1962; Munro 1982; Yoshino and Senou 1983; Tjakrawidjaja 2002; Devi and Rao 2003; Boseto 2006; Mohapatra et al. 2007; Bucol and Carumbana 2010; Tweedley et al. 2013; Bataragoa et al. 2014; Guzman and Capaque 2014; Huang et al. 2015; Mohanty et al. 2015; Senou 2015; Inoue et al. 2016). In fact, Herre (1951) recorded T. nigra from a mountain stream in the Philippines, 42 km from the sea.
