Ebomegobius goodi is a species of brackish water goby native to a stream in Cameroon and is known from a single specimen.[1] This species grows to a length of 3.5 centimetres (1.4 in) SL.[2] This species is the only known member of its genus.[3] The genus name is a compound of Ebomé, the brackish stream where the species was found, and gobius while the specific name honours the missionary Albert Irwin Good (1884-1975), who collected West African fishes and collected the type of this species.[4]
