Etymology: Microgobius: Greek, mikros = small + Latin, gobius = gudgeon (Ref. 45335); urraca: Named after the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute’s research vessel the Urraca, which served the institute between 1994-2007; noun in apposition.
Eponymy: Not an eponym but named for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute’s research vessel ‘Urraca’, which contributed a wealth of information on fish diversity in the tropical Americas (1994–2007) and from which the type was collected (2003). (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 8; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 14; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 1; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 14; Ryggkotor: 27. This species is distinguished from Microgobius urraca in having the following characters: lateral scale rows 67-76; patch of ctenoid scales under the pectoral fin absent; unpigmented epaxial myosepta; first dorsal fin with a distinct oval-shaped dark blotch; three blue-white stripes on a dark caudal fin. It differs from the remaining eastern Pacific congeners in the number and type of scales (pectoral- and pelvic fin base without scales; pre-anal region with small embedded cycloid scales; small scales on anterior and ventral portions of trunk, partially imbedded, and in irregular rows, becoming larger and arranged in distinct rows dorsally and posteriorly; no small patch of ctenoid scales beneath pectoral fin); D1 VII, D2 I,14; A I,14; fleshy dorsal crest poorly developed and overall color pattern (Ref. 91780).
Found over sand or sand and leaf litter bottoms; where collections are found in the latter, this species was collected with several specimens of Ptereleotris carinata and M. erectus. Presumed to be a burrowing species (Ref. 91780).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00724 (0.00339 - 0.01546), b=3.10 (2.92 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Hög, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mindre än 15 månader (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
