Belobranchus segura is a species of eleotrid sleeper goby which has been found in Indonesia on Halmahera, in Papua Barat and also on the Solomon Islands.{{FishBase|Belonbranchus|segura|month=February|year=2018}} It is an anadromous species in which the eggs are laid over rocky and gravel bottoms in freshwater streams. The free-swimming larvae then drift downstream to the sea where they undergo a planktonic stage before migrating up streams to mature and breed. It feeds on small crustaceans and fish.{{cite journal | author1 = Philippe Keith | author2 = Renny K Hadiaty | author3 = Clara Lord | name-list-style = amp | year = 2012 | title = A new species of Belobranchus (Teleostei: Gobioidei: Eleotridae) from Indonesia | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289390805 | journal = Cybium | volume = 36 | issue = 3 | pages = 479–484}} The specific name honours the French hydrobiologist Gilles Segura for his contribution to the study of fish faunas.{{cite web |author1=Christopher Scharpf |author2=Kenneth J.
