Material 1 specimen Tortonian, Tuira FM , Pacific Panama, Darien, PPP 1132 ( NMB P15794 View Materials ) .
Discussion Only two extant specimens have been available from the many species in the genus: T. macrodon
( Fig. 38d View Fig ) and T. saucrus (Robins, 1960) kindly made available as photograph by Chien-Hsiang Lin. Both are characterized by a high-bodied shape (OL:OH <1.0), a rounded ventral rim and a very small, oval sulcus. An otolith of Risor ruber ( Fig. 38c View Fig ) is figured for further comparison. Te single fossil otolith from the Tortonian shows the same small, oval sulcus and a reasonable comparison of the otolith shape to interpret it as an early representative of Tigrigobius . It is, however, too poorly preserved for any further identification.
