Remark: Issue on validity of subspecies:  the subspecies <i>Ptereleotris grammica melanota</i> Randall & Lubock, 1982 is synonymized with the species <i>Ptereleotris grammica</i> Randall & Lubock, 1982 in FB, but is elevated to species rank as <i>Ptereleotris melanota</i> Randall & Lubock, 1982 in Eschmeyer (CofF ver. May 2011: Ref. 86870).  The species page will be created in the future.  Please send references, or more studies are needed.
