Allozyme electrophoresis was used to identify cryptic larvae of potentially four sympatric south‐western Australian estuarine gobiid species: Afurcagobius suppositus , Arenigobius bifrenatus , Favonigobius lateralis and Pseudogobius olorum . Genotypes of six diagnostic loci expressed in 46 unidentified larval gobiids indicated that they were unambiguously P. olorum .
