Etymology: Herklotsichthys: After Janus Adrian Herklots, Australian ichthyologist, 1820-1872.
Eponymy: Dr Geoffrey Alton Craig Herklots (1902–1986) was a British biologist, botanist and ornithologist at the University of Hong Kong (1928–1941). [...] Dr Maurice Blackburn (1915–2012) was an Australian marine biologist, oceanographer and ichthyologist who became a US citizen (1966). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Ambiente: milieu / zona climática / intervalo de profundidade / gama de distribuição
Ecologia
marinhas pelagic-neritic; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 50 m (Ref. 188). Tropical; 14°S - 21°S, 118°E - 127°E (Ref. 188)
Eastern Indian Ocean: Western Australia. The western counterpart of Herklotsichthys castelnaui and possibly merely a subspecies.
Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturidade: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 10.5 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 188); common length : 8.0 cm SL macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 188)
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 0; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 13 - 21; Espinhos anais: 0; Raios anais moles: 12 - 23. Distinguished from most other Australian Herklotsichthys by lacking spots on the flank and lacking elongate wing-like scales underneath the normal paired pre-dorsal scales. Most closely resembles H. castelnaui but has fewer lower gill rakers. Separated from H. gotoi and Herklotsichthys Species C by its black tips to caudal fin and 3 distinct dark lines along upper flank.
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: compressed.
A schooling species found in coastal waters (Ref. 188, 75154).
