Schindleria squirei is a tiny species of fish native to the surroundings of Easter Island, Chile .[1] It belongs to the family Gobiidae, the same family as gobies.[1] The specimens captured for study were caught in deep waters off Hanga Roa.[2] Before its description as a new species, this fish was considered part of Schindleria praematura, because it is native to the Hawaiian archipelago and nearby islands,[3] but Schindleria squirei has a long dorsal spine, different from the other species.[2]
