70. Acheilognathus mesembrinum Jordan and Evermann, 1902:323, fig. 6

= Metzia mesembrinum ( Jordan and Evermann)

Holotype: SU 7130 (89 TL), Kotosho [in error, Suwata, Suao], Formosa, coll. T. Tada.

Paratype: SU 7151 (2), same as holotype .

Remark. The figured specimen is labeled as “type” and has been determined to be holotype. This species is an endemic species and thought to be extinct in Taiwan. Jordan and Evermann (1902) described this species based on specimens collected from Kotosho, a small island named Lanyu or Orchid Island in SE Taiwan. Chen and Feng (2002) found those specimens were labeled as Suwata [now Suao] in northeastern Taiwan, and concluded that the original locality was a mistake.
