The burrowing goby Trypauchen vagina has been reported from Brazil for the first time. This goby occurs naturally in the Indo-Pacific region, where it is typically found burrowed in the bottom substrata of marine or brackish waters. Given its rapid development, extended longevity and multiple spawning cycles, the species is represented by large populations in Asian countries. The authors discuss the occurrence of this species in Brazilian waters and conclude that it was introduced via the ballast water of vessels arriving from Asia. They also compare this exotic taxon with the native Brazilian gobies, including Akko dionaea, Microdesmus and Gobioides, that have burrowing habits.
穴居狼牙虾虎鱼 Trypauchen vagina 首次在巴西被报道。这种虾虎鱼自然分布于印度洋-太平洋地区，通常在海洋或半咸水底部的洞穴中生活。由于其快速的繁殖速度、较长的寿命和多次产卵周期，该物种在亚洲国家拥有大量种群。作者讨论了该物种在巴西水域的出现，并得出结论，它是通过来自亚洲的船只的压载水引入的。他们还将这个外来分类群与具有穴居习性的本地巴西虾虎鱼，包括 Akko dionaea、Microdesmus 和 Gobioides 进行了比较。
