摘要

A distinctively patterned dwarf reef goby of the genus Trimma was obtained from submarine cave habitat in Christmas Island from expeditions conducted in 2010 to 2012. A comparison with valid Trimma species revealed this species to be conspecific with T. fasciatum, a recently described species from Palau, Saipan and Ryukyu islands. This current record extends the distribution range of T. fasciatum southwards into the Indian Ocean, mirroring similar disjunct records of other marine taxa.
