| Gobiomorphus cotidianus McDowall, 1975 |
The common bully, Gobiomorphus cotidianus, is a sleeper of the genus Gobiomorphus, found in most rivers and lakes in New Zealand. Their length is up to 15 cm.
Common bullies are present in rivers and lakes throughout New Zealand. Sea-going populations occur in river and streams near the coast, and land-locked populations have become established in many lakes.
Apart from a few records from Stewart and Great Barrier Islands, common bullies are largely confined to the mainland in New Zealand.
