Distribution
Description
Originally described from Nuusafee Island, Samoa, this species is a part of the Eviota guttata complex including E. guttata, E. teresae, and E. albolineata. Body with a series of taller than wide red rectangular blocks separated by yellow or white bars less than pupil diameter. Iris is red with gold spokes extending out from pupil and occaisional mottling. Red interorbital spot is connected to two larger spots behind each eye, while these are distinctly separate in E. teresae and E. guttata. Red stripe extending behind each eye is partially complete, however is incomplete in E. guttata and E. teresae.
Information
Max Size: N/A cm
Sea Temperature Range: N/A
Depth: N/A
Habitat Generalization Index: N/A
Also referred to as the SGI (Species Generalisation Index), this describes the habitat niche breadth of the species. Species with values less than 15 are found in a relatively narrow range of reef habitat types (specialists), while those over 25 may be found on most hard substrates within their range (generalists).

Conservation and Rarity
IUCN Status: Not Evaluated
Occurrence: Widespread (95.3% of sites)
Occurrence describes how often the species is found on surveys within its distribution. It is calculated as the % of reef sites surveyed by RLS divers across all the ecoregions in which the species has been observed
Abundance: Many (21 per transect)
Abundance is calculated as the average number of individuals recorded per RLS transect, where present.
