160. Mastacembelus kobayashii Oshima, 1926:195

= Sinobdella sinensis (Bleeker)

Syntype: unknown (2, 142–195 TL), Shiao–li, Hsin–Chu in 7 Aug. 1922, coll. Kobayashi.

Remark. Also described in Oshima (1929). Oshima (1926) mentioned that there were two specimens collected together and the description was based on a 142 TL specimen. Both were not registered to any institute and are probably lost. Based on our examination, this species is very likely a valid subspecies of Sinobdella sinensis endemic to Taiwan (also I.–S. Chen, pers. comm., May 2005). However, it is believed to be extinct from Taiwan.

Scorpaenidae (304)
