Pennella biloba Kirtisinghe, 1932

Not valid. Described from the Pacific sailfish, Histiophorous brevirostris (= Istiophorus platycephalus ), Indian Ocean. Kirtisinghe’s specimen resembles P. filosa in overall shape and size, which has been found previously on Pacific sailfish ( Causey 1960). The rationale to differentiate P. biloba from other Pennella found on large billfish is brief and unconvincing. Not reported since the original record. Status of species inquirendae ( Hogans 1988a). Synonym of P. filosa .
