Hemibagrus guttatus

Description

Hemibagrus guttatus (Lacepède) [Extirpated]

(EAs)

References. Günther, 1864 (as Macrones elongatus); Fowler, 1938 (as Mystus elongatus); Alfred, 1966a (as Mystus elongatus); Ng et al., 1993; Ng & Lim, 1997b; Ng & Kottelat, 1998.

Distribution. Not known.

Remarks. This species was imported accidentally through the food fish route (Alfred, 1966a; Ng et al., 1993; Ng & Lim, 1997b), and appears to be extirpated in Singapore, as there had been no recent records. Ng & Kottelat (1998) clarified the taxonomy of the species, and H. elongatus, the name used previously, is a subjective junior synonym to H. guttatus.
