有一批新的新作物Trimmadwarf gobies from Papua New Guinea and several of them are quite the lookers. The four new speciesdescribed by Gerald Alleninclude三角形深渊,T. nauagium, T. chledophilum和T. multiclitellum.
如您所期望的那样，三角形深渊is only known from very deep reef locales and the type specimens were collected at a depth of 107 meters, 350 feet, and subsequently there are no living images of this fish. Meanwhile, the attractiveT, chledophilum通过在野外的一系列美丽图片来说明。“泥侏儒戈比”是一种红色的颜色，上面有一些华丽的图案，脸上几乎没有标记，外观通常类似于Trimma erdmanni来自西巴布亚，但缺乏纵向红色条纹。
The Shipwreck Pygmy goby,Trimma nauagiumis harder to described in appearance with few notable colors or patterns, “Generally brown with narrow, darker-brown scale margins, grading to yellowish or white on ventral surface”. For our money, the real looker in this batch of newTrimmaspecies is the multisaddled pygmy goby,Trimma multiclitellum,pictured below and in the header image of this story.
Trimma multiclitellumis characterized by a gorgeous pattern of alternating black and white bars which saddle most of the body in the midsection, but only extend halfway down the flanks further down the body. Thankfully this latter species was collected at the reasonable depth of 17m, about 55 feet, meaning that divers and collectors alike may encounterTrimma multiclitellumin habitats which are easily reachable with conventional SCUBA.
