Lepidonectes bimaculatus, known commonly as the twinspot triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Lepidonectes.[2] It was described by Gerald R. Allen and David Ross Robertson in 1992.[3] This species is found in the eastern Pacific Ocean where it has been recorded only in the vicinity of Malpelo Island in Colombia.[1] The twinspot triplefin acts as a cleaner fish, its only client species being the grouper Epinephelus labriformis.[4]
