Remarks.
From phylogenetic analyses, Bohlen
et al.
(2011) proposed that there are three major lineages within the genus
Pangio
, namely the
anguillaris
lineage,the
shelfordii
lineage and the
kuhlii -oblonga
lineage. The
anguillaris
-lineage comprise
P. anguillaris
,
P. bitaimac
,
P. doriae
and
P. lumbriciformis
. They hypothesized that phylogenetic pattern of the genus
Pangio
was the result of a vicariance event that separated the common ancestor into Bornean and Peninsular Malaysian sub-groups. Since the
type
locality
P. anguillaris
is Kapuas in Borneo, specimens recorded in Peninsular
Malaysia
, the Chao Phraya and the lower Mekong basins may be confused under this name. We recognize that there may be a possible taxonomic revision in the future.
