Issue
Distribution of this species will be corrected as more studies have confirmed or clarified its occurrence, together with the similar species Gobius incognitus. Further, the colouration and shape characteristics from the diagnoses given in Ref. 110727 could be used to confirm the identity, as either G. incognitus for G. bucchichi, of specimens shown in photographs or species information in published references for the Mediterranean and Atlantic samples as were used for this species in FishBase.
