Trimma tevegae
''Trimma tevegae'', commonly known as the bluestripe pygmygoby or blue-striped cave goby among other names, is a species of goby from the western Pacific. They are small fish, averaging at , orange-brown with white undersides in life, with characteristic iridescent blue or lavender stripes on the sides and on top of the body. They are usually found in large schools in the sloping or vertical drop-offs at coral reef edges. They are sometimes caught for the aquarium trade, and are also known by hobbyists under the name blue line flagtail goby. The species is named in honor of the schooner ''Te Vega''.
==Taxonomy==
''T. tevegae'' belongs to the ''Trimma tevegae'' species group of the dwarfgoby genus ''Trimma''. It is included in the true goby subfamily Gobiinae in the goby family Gobiidae. It was first described by the ichthyologists Daniel M. Cohen and William P. Davis in 1969 from specimens collected in Rabaul, New Britain. The generic name ''Trimma'' is derived from Greek τρίμματος (''trimmatos'', "something crushed").〔 The specific name is in honor of the schooner ''Te Vega'', which was used as the research vessel (then under the Stanford University's Hopkins Marine Station) by the authors during the collection trip.〔
In 2005, the ichthyologist Richard Winterbottom examined specimens of ''Trimma caudomaculatum'', described in 1975 by the Japanese ichthyologists Tetsuo Yoshino and Chūichi Araga, and compared them with specimens of ''T. tevegae''. Based on morphology, he concluded that they belonged to the same species, and thus synonymized ''T. caudomaculatum'' with ''T. tevegae''. However, he reversed this opinion after a 2011 phylogenetic study on the genus ''Trimma''. ''T. caudomaculatum'' is now again considered to be a separate valid species, though still closely related to ''T. tevegae''. The study also revealed that ''T. tevegae'' may be a cryptic species complex.〔
''T. tevegae'' is known under a number of common names in English, mostly based on the characteristic blue stripe running through the body. These include various permutations of the names "bluestripe pygmgygoby", "blue-striped cave goby", or "blue-striped dwarfgoby".〔 It is also known under various non-specific common names in other languages, like ''mano'o-moi'' in Samoan and ''kultit'' or ''paku'' in Calamian Tagbanwa in the Philippines.〔
