    The status of valid species and distributional range of mudskippers (oxudercine gobies) in Indonesian waters are reviewed here. There are 24 species of mudskippers recently recorded. Refered to seven largest islands region in Indonesia, Sumatra has largest number of mudskippers (14 species), following Java (12 species, Lesser Sundas (11 species), Kalimantan (9 species), West Papua (9 species), Sulawesi (8 species) and Moluccas (8 species). Further research is required to clarify distributional range and to adress conservation challenge of mudskippers in Indonesian waters.

    Hanya sedikit sekali catatan mengenai Pecuk-padi Kecil di Sumatera dan tidak pernah ada catatan sebelumnya mengenai informasi berbiak jenis ini di Sumatera. Minimnya informasi perjumpaan dan tidak adanya info berbiak sebelumnya, maka membuat jenis ini dianggap sebagai jenis pengunjung di Sumatera. Penemuan terkini dua lokasi berbiak jenis ini di Sumatera Utara dan Sumatera Selatan menunjukkan bahwa jenis ini sudah termasuk jenis penetap di Sumatera.
