Pleurosicya is a genus of gobies native to reef environments of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.

Species

[edit]

As of 2024, FishBase recognizes 18 species in this genus as valid:[1]

However, the validity of Pleurosicya sinaia as a taxon is heavily disputed, and it is generally considered to be a junior synonym of Pleurosicya mossambica.[3][4]
