Aetomylaeus nichofii
(Bloch & Schneider, 1801)
Type
locality: East Indies (
Indonesia
).
The three
Taiwan
samples of
A. nichofii
included in this analysis formed a single cluster that includes previously collected samples of this species from Indonesian and Malaysian Borneo (Supplementary Material 1; Naylor
et al.
, 2012a). This clade was sister to the
A.
cf.
nichofii
1 (
sensu
Naylor
et al.
, 2012a) clade, which comprises a single sample from
Iran
in the northwestern Indian Ocean. Taxonomic revision of this species complex is currently underway to resolve how many distinct species comprise this complex.
