新的描述Trimma fasciatum,Trimma matsunoi和Gobiodon Winterbottomishow that although the summer doldrums may be in full swing for the marine aquarium hobby, the ichthyologists are still busy classifying reef fishes.Especially with the nano reef gobies likeEviota和Trimma, these tiny substrate spawning reef fish have immense potential for regional speciation as with the case of the newTrimma fasciatumfrom Palau andTrimma matsunoi和Gobiodon Winterbottomiboth from Japan.

Trimma fasciatumis a cute yellow goby with subtle shiny blue bands from Palau. It looks somewhat similar to the popularTrimma canacandy cane nano goby except that it has a much slimmer head profile, and brilliant blue eyes (which became red in preserving liquid).Trimma fasciatumis known to occur from Ryukyu Islands in Japan to the Saipan Islands in the Marianas but the majority of the description material were collected from Palau.
Trimma matsunoi comes to us from Japan, more specifically in Kashiwa-jima of the Kouchi Prefecture in Japan. This deeper bodied species has a base color of rosy brown with a deep orange margin to every scale and a pattern of light iridescent blue spots. Even if we could get fish from Japan, the specimens ofTrimma matsunoi都是从更深的水中收集的,图片中的两个现场标本都在175英尺或更高的深度发现!
