Myxodagnus walkeri is a species of sand stargazer native to the Pacific coast of Central America from Nayarit, Mexico to Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica where it can be found at depths of from 0 to 6 metres (0 to 20 ft). It can reach a maximum length of 5.5 centimetres (2.2 in) SL.[2] The specific name of this fish honours the fisheries biologist Boyd W. Walker (1917-2001) of the University of California, Los Angeles.[3]
