103. Scaphesthes tamusuiensis Oshima, 1919:209 , pl.50, fig. 1

= Scaphesthes barbatulus (Pellegrin)

Lectotype: FMNH 59091 [formly CM 8228 ] (230 TL), Tamusui [Tamsui] River, near Shinten, Dec. 1916, coll. T. Aoki.

Paralectotype: SU 23013 (3), Tamusui [Tamsui] River near Shinten [one partially stained] ; SU 23058 (1), Choso River , coll. M. Oshima ; SU 23117–8 (2), Giran, coll. M. Oshima.

Remark. The original description was based on a 230–mm TL specimen which was designated as a lectotype by Eschmeyer (1998). Data from six additional specimens was provided in the original description, including 3 collected from Tamusui River, 1 from Choso River, 1 from Giran, 1 from Heirinbi, and 2 from Taishu. Although these localities were not exactly the same as those provided in the data sheet, we believe those specimens were the type series.
