Synonyms. H. waleananus Gomon and Kuiter 2009.
Distribution. Brunei, Indonesia( Kalimantan), Malaysia( Sabah).
Holotype.NMV A25420-001. Paratype: NMV A25420-002. Typelocality.Derawan Island, Kalimantan, Indonesia. Notes. Hippocampus waleananuswas described based on a single specimen. Differences cited included tail rings (32 vs. 27–28 for H. satomiae) and dorsal fin rays (12 versus 13-14), however a lack of other differences, and its apparent distribution entirely encompassed within the distribution of H. satomiae,lead us to synonymize it under H. satomiae(Appendix M). Further surveys and molecular studies in the region are needed to confirm this.
