Remarks. This species was first reported from Taiwan by Li (1960), but the specimens on which the record was based were reidentified by Lin et al. (2013) as Oxyconger leptognathus . Chen & Weng (1967) provided an account of the species from Taiwan and stated that specimens were "...preserved in the Department of Zoology of the National Taiwan University and in the Taiwan Fisheries Research Institute, collected from Keelung & Suao, length 500–1000 mm," although they did not give catalog numbers. Lin et al. (2013), however, were apparently unable to find these specimens and stated that "there was not any real record of C. talabon in Taiwan. " Castle & Williamson (1975: fig. 4) included Taiwan in the range of Congresox talabonoides ( Bleeker, 1853a) but not C. talabon . Further studies are needed to confirm the presence of either of these species in Taiwan.
