Awaous stamineus is a species of goby native to the Hawaiian Islands.[1] It has been considered synonym of Awaous guamensis but recent work based upon morphological and genetic differences has recognized Hawaiian populations as being distinct.[2] Consequently, Hawaiian Awaous are now recognized as a valid, distinct species.[1][3]
