ABSTRACT
Five mud~kipper species were found near Pattani during our study in 1994: Pseudapocryptes lanceolatus, Boleophthalmus boddarti, Periophthalmodon schlosseri, Periophthalmus novemradiatus and P. argentilineatus. All were known to occur in Thailand, but only the first three species had been recorded before at Pattani. The species are described, as well as their spatial distribution and habitats. Burrows, behaviour and food were studied in the first three species. P. lanceolatus aestivates in narrow burrows in the bottom of dried up pools.
