The various life history strategies seen within the “yoshinobori” species complex of the genusRhinogobius, which differentiated from an amphidromous ancestor, have been grouped ecologically into amphidromous, fluvial, and lacustrine types. In the Lake Biwa water system, two lacustrine forms exist, a newly discovered, exclusively lentic form and the already well knownRhinogobiussp. OR, which generally undergoes lake–river migration but also includes lentic individuals that share spawning grounds with the former lentic form. Detailed morphological comparisons and allozyme analysis revealed consistently clear differences between the two forms, indicating them to be distinct species. The newly discovered lentic form has many distinctive morphological features that enable it to be distinguished from sympatricRhinogobiussp. OR: dwarfness, short snout, longitudinally slender pelvic fin, undeveloped frenum with a low lamella, low first dorsal fin in adult males, lesser caudal peduncle depth, scaleless predorsal and ventral areas, and incomplete sensory canals. The lentic form was temporarily namedRhinogobiussp. BW. The life history patterns of the lake-inhabiting populations were separated into two categories: a lake–river migratory lifestyle and an exclusively lentic lifestyle.
