Awaous stamineus is a species of goby native to the Hawaiian Islands. It has been considered synonym of Awaous guamensis but recent work based upon morphological and genetic differences has recognized Hawaiian populations as being distinct. Consequently, Hawaiian Awaous are now recognized as a valid, distinct species.
