Hemigobius hoevenii, commonly known as the banded mulletgoby, is a species of goby which occurs in the western Indo-Pacific region from Thailand to New Guinea and northern Australia where it is found in mangroves.^[1] The specific name most likely honours the Dutch ichthyologist Jan van der Hoeven (1801-1868) who has been honoured by Pieter Bleeker in a number of names for taxa.^[2]
