Change of strategy or always overlooked? Third recent record of the beardless tadpole goby Benthophiloides brauneri from an inland location far from the coast.

The present study documents three specimens of Benthophiloides brauneri from the River Dniester. It is one of the rarest freshwater fishes in Europe, living along the western coast of the Black and Asov Seas, but these new records are 200 river km from the coast. We discuss whether the species has recently started to establish inland populations or inland specimens have previously been overlooked.
