ABSTRACT The Gasterosteidae, a family of marine, brackish and fresh water fish, is represented in Ukraine by the genera Pungitius Gasterosteus . Among these, only species platygaster has hitherto been identified. However, our findings based on molecular cox1 DNA barcoding collected material have confirmed additional presence pungitius Dnipro River Ukraine. This long remained hidden from scientific scrutiny, due to its diminutive size, lack commercial significance morphological similarities with sister species. Our analysis allowed conclusive identification this elusive provided an insight into distribution ecological relevance within inland waters To examine compare haplotype diversity, we analysed data P. , aculeatus those available public repositories. demonstrate novel haplotypes region for all support theory not recent invasion region. valuable role advanced methodologies unravelling biodiversity aquatic ecosystems, particularly case overlooked often marginalized taxa. We also explore current worldwide regional conservation status species, contributing future studies population management.
