Etymology: Trimma:Greek, trimma, -atos = something crushed (Ref. 45335); pentherum:Name from Greek 'pentheros' meaning 'of mourning', apparently alluding to the black bar on the pectoral-fin base which, with considerable imagination, could be viewed as analogous to the black arm band worn to signify the death of a close friend or relative in certain cultures.
Western Pacific: Australia (the Great Barrier Reef) to Tonga and north to the South West Islands of Palau.
