Family
Synaphobranchidae
Ho
et al.
(2015c)
listed 7 genera and 17 species from Taiwan. In the present study, two of these are described as new, and the presence of
Synaphobranchus affinis
in Taiwan has become doubtful because of a lack of voucher specimens. Here we add two more new species of
Dysomma
, bringing the total species of the family to 21 or 22 (the latter including
S. affinis
). There are still unidentified or undescribed species awaiting further investigation.
