PLATE 9

Material: 2 specimens in total. Anda1 (1) RGM 962308; AndaCliff3 (1) RGM 962309 View Materials .

High almost oval otolith with a characteristic OL:OH (=0.65) ratio. The lower rim of the ostium bends deeply in ventral direction with the deepest point in the posterior part of the ostium. The much narrower cauda runs obliquely upwards and ends close to the posterior rim. The inner surface is rather flat; the flat outer surface is decorated with small lobes and furrows.

The otoliths are identified as Antigonia capros . It is difficult to distinguish this species from A. malayana Weber, 1913 , which has a bit more flattened dorsal rim, but displays variation that overlaps with A. capros . Both species dwell around the Philippines today.
