Pleurosicya is a genus of gobies native to reef environments of the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Species , FishBase recognizes 18 species in this genus as valid: Pleurosicya annandalei (Scaly-nape goby) Pleurosicya australis Pleurosicya bilobata (Bilobed ghostgoby) Pleurosicya boldinghi (Soft-coral goby) Pleurosicya carolinensis (Caroline Islands ghostgoby) Pleurosicya coerulea (Blue-coral ghostgoby) Pleurosicya elongata (Cling goby) Pleurosicya fringilla (Staghorn ghostgoby) Pleurosicya labiata (Barrel-sponge ghostgoby) Pleurosicya larsonae Pleurosicya micheli (Michel's ghostgoby, also Stony coral ghostgoby ) Pleurosicya mossambica (Toothy goby) Pleurosicya muscarum (Ghost goby) Pleurosicya occidentalis Pleurosicya plicata (Plicata ghostgoby) Pleurosicya prognatha (Folded ghostgoby) Pleurosicya sinaia Pleurosicya spongicola (Sponge ghostgoby)
However, the validity of Pleurosicya sinaia as a taxon is heavily disputed, and it is generally considered to be a junior synonym of Pleurosicya mossambica.
