The most recent reference to distribution is by Weitzman & Weitzman (1982), but due to a printer’s error Fig. 22.10 provides the correct distribution for Nannostomus trifasciatus, not Fig. 22.11.

(2001) most recently discussed the geographical forms of this species.including a newly discovered form from Peru called the coral red pencilfish.
