Etymology: Trimma: Greek, trimma, -atos = something crushed (Ref. 45335); tevegae: Named for the American research vessel 'Te Vega', a converted luxury yacht, operated at the
time the type specimens were collected in 1965 by Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station..

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina, usually 10 - 40 m (Ref. 27115). Tropical; 22°C - 26°C (Ref. 27115); 33°N - 18°S
Western Pacific: from north-east Borneo and the northern Philippines southward to the Solomon Islands; apparently absent from Australian, Palauan and Japanese waters, but probably more widely distributed in Indonesia than currently documented.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 4.5 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 9710)
Spine dorsali (totale): 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale): 8-9; Spine anali 1; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9. Characterized by golden brown body color; white on lower head and ventral body; presence of lavender or bluish lateral stripe from upper eye to middle of caudal peduncle; caudal fin base with large dark blotch; elongate and filamentous second dorsal spine; all pectoral rays unbranched; fifth pelvic ray unbranched; longitudinal scale series 25-26; predorsal scales about 12; cheek and opercle without scales; depth of body about 4.0-4.4 in SL (Ref. 90102).
Inhabits coastal to outer reefs, typically in small groups in caves (Ref. 48637). Forms loose aggregations associated with shallow pockets and caves of steep drop-offs. Hovers in a head-up position (often vertical, posture in the water column) and feeds on copepods (Ref. 1602, 58123).
