Drombus bontii is a species of goby native to the Indian Ocean from the Bazaruto Archipelago of Mozambique through to the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean. This species can reach a length of 7.2 centimetres (2.8 in) TL.[2] The status of this species is questionable as the name has been used to describe many populations, that appear to be disparate;[1] Maurice Kottelat considering it to be a junior synonym of Drombus triangularis,[3] or it may even belong to another genus.[1][2]
