Macrocephenchelys brevirostris ( Chen & Weng, 1967) View in CoL : Smith in Randall & Lim, 2000:586; Karmovskaya, 2004:S24; Shao et al., 2008:239; Ho et al. 2010:23, table 1; Ho & Shao, 2011:24, table 1.

Remarks. This is a common deepwater species collected by bottom trawls, more abundant off southwestern than in northeastern Taiwan. It is likely a senior synonym of Macrocephenchelys soela Castle, 1990 , described from Australia. According to Karmovskaya (2004), this species also occurs in the Philippines and New Caledonia.
