Etymology: Ptereleotris: Greek, pteron = wing, fin + The name of a Nile fish, eleotris (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Hana was the daughter of zoologist Kakichi Mitsukuri (1857–1909) of the Imperial University of Tokyo; he collected the type. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 7; Dorsal soft rays (total): 24 - 26; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 22 - 25; Vertebrae: 26. Pale blue to light bluish gray in color. Operculum with 2 broad, curved, bright blue bands. 4 to 6 median barbels (like bumps in juveniles). 2nd spine of 2nd dorsal fin elongated; caudal fin of adults with trailing filaments; diagonally elongate red to violet spot usually present on lower base of pectoral fin.
Inhabits coastal reef slopes in a depth range of about 6 to 30 meters depth (Ref. 48637). Found over rubble and sand near reefs. Usually seen in pairs occupying the same burrow. It uses burrows made by alpheid shrimps which live in association with gobies of the genus Amblyeleotris, but does not interact with the shrimps. Feeds on zooplanktons (Ref. 89972).

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 25.4 - 29, mean 28 °C (based on 772 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00389 (0.00180 - 0.00842), b=3.12 (2.94 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 112 [59, 188] mg/100g; Iron = 0.817 [0.492, 1.370] mg/100g; Protein = 18.1 [16.9, 19.1] %; Omega3 = 0.0992 [, ] g/100g; Selenium = 30.2 [14.2, 63.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 207 [71, 631] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.86 [1.24, 2.63] mg/100g (wet weight);
