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. 1416636174 [199,688,1762,1787] Iceland Kalimantan 37 38 1 Kalimantan holotype
