Etymology: Trigonostigma: Greek, tres, tria = three + Greek, gonias= angle, corner + Greek stigma = signal;  truncata: Name from the Latin ‘truncus’ meaning cut off; referring to the caudal apex of the axine not reaching the base of the caudal-fin; noun in apposition..

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology

Freshwater; benthopelagic. Tropical

Max length : 2.5 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 122370)

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 1; Dorsal soft rays (total): 7; Anal spines: 1; Anal soft rays: 6. This species differs from T. heteromorpha in the following characters: a gently sloping lateral head profile to pre-dorsal region (vs. steep convex); sub-superior mouth (vs. terminal); caudal apex of axine not reaching caudal-fin base (vs. reaching and extending to hypural plate); dorsal and ventral apices of axine originate posterior to both dorsal-fin and pelvic-fin origins by up to three scale-widths (vs. dorsal apex starting one scale-width posterior to dorsal-fin origin and ventral apex starting at pelvic-fin origin); faint or indistinct brown humeral streak just posterior to opercular opening (vs. a distinct black humeral streak); base of dorsal fin hyaline and its middle reddish-orange in life (vs. anterior two-thirds orange-red); a distinct orange-red colour on anal fin in life (vs. faint or absence); body in life with a bluish-lilac sheen (vs. reddish or purplish sheen); a shallower body (depth at dorsal-fin origin 28.3-34.6% SL [mean 32.4], vs. 32.6-38.2% [mean 35.8]) (Ref. 122370).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = No PD50 data   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01995 (0.00906 - 0.04395), b=3.01 (2.83 - 3.19), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
