Description

Anguilla celebesensis Kaup, 1856

W£aeAª

Anguilla celebesensis Kaup, 1856b:42 (type locality: Lake Tondano, Sulawesi, Indonesia). Tseng, 1982:59; Chang et al., 2011:1; Chen et al., 2012:1; Chang et al., 2013:44.

Remarks. Tseng (1982) first recorded this species based on juveniles. Although there are other records of this species, no adults have been formally recorded. Chen et al. (2012) noted that some juveniles of this species may have been included with Anguilla luzonensis, a recently described species. Chang et al. (2013) confirmed that this species, also based on juveniles, is present in Taiwanese waters.
