Etymology: Trimma: Greek, trimma, -atos = something crushed (Ref. 45335); squamicana: Named after the word 'squamus', meaning scale and the specific name of 'candy cane pygmy goby', in allusion to the red and white body and scaled nape. Treated as a noun in apposition.

Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 7; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 9; Spine anali: 1; Raggi anali molli: 8 - 9. Diagnosis: The species has eight red to reddish brown saddles over the dorsal midline and five similar saddles on the ventral midline on a white background. The second dorsal spine is variably elongate. The fifth pelvic fin ray is unbranched. The interorbital trench is moderate to deep, the postorbital trench is generally poorly-developed or absent. The nape is scaled.
