Awaous stamineus is a species of goby native to the Hawaiian Islands.^[1] It has been considered a 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]
