Eponymy: Dr Barton Warren Evermann (1853–1932) was a schoolteacher (1876–1886) and a student at Indiana University, where he was awarded his bachelor’s degree (1886), master’s (1888) and doctorate (1891). [...] Dr Jan Metzelaar (1891–1929) was a Dutch-born American ichthyologist who studied at the University of Amsterdam, being awarded his doctorate (1919) with a thesis on the systematics of tropical Atlantic fish.

Size / Peso / Age
Maturità: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 3.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 92840)
Spine dorsali (totale) : 9; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 27; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 11. Distinguished by having the following characteristics: thin and elongate in form; reduced scale cover and head pores; depth of body about 2 mm (Ref. 92840).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Obligate sponge dwellers. Live deep within canals of the sponges, near the openings to the incurrent canals. Sponges provide species with protection from predators and an available food source in many invertebrates. Eggs found within sponge or small plankton brought through incurrent pores (Ref. 92840).
