Remarks. There has been considerable confusion over this name in the past. The species treated as
Anago
[
=
Ariosoma
]
anago
by
Asano (1962)
is in fact
Ariosoma meeki
(
Jordan
& Snyder, 1901
); the true
A. anago
was treated by Asano as
Ariosoma anagoides
(
Bleeker, 1852
)
. Most subsequent authors followed Asano. Previous records of
Ariosoma anago
from
Taiwan
are reidentified by us as
A. meeki
, and records of
A
.
anagoides
are reidentified as
A. anago
. Known from
Japan
and
Taiwan
; southern limit of distribution uncertain.
