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.
Eponymy: The ‘Te Vega’ is Stanford University’s research vessel; a converted luxury yacht, from which the type was collected. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 7; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 8 - 9; Espinas anales: 1; Radios blandos anales: 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).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
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).
