Remarks.
Smith
et al
. (2018a) report several specimens collected from off Dong-gang and Ke-tzo-liao of southwestern
Taiwan
. This species is usually collected from quite shallow waters on sand and mud bottoms. Our
specimens were collected by bottom trawl at around
30‒100 m
. It appears to be an uncommon species rarely seen, despite many intensive collections from the fish landing places.
