Etymology: Micrenophrys: Greek, mikros = small + Greek, ophrys = eye bow.
Eponymy: Wilhelm Lilljeborg (1816–1908) was a Swedish zoologist who became Professor of Zoology at Uppsala University and a member of the Swedish Academy of Science (1861). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Differs from Taurulus bubalis by the row of bony knobs above the rough lateral line and by the 2 soft rays in the anal fin (Ref. 35388).
Found on hard bottoms (gravel or shells) or among algae with temperatures ranging below 0°C. Feeds on small crustaceans (amphipods, decapods) and fishes. Spawns in early spring. Eggs demersal, in clumps on bottom, diameter 2 mm; larvae pelagic (Ref. 4698).
