H. satomiae Lourie & Kuiter 2008 View in CoL
English common names. Satomi’s Pygmy Seahorse.
Synonyms. H. waleananus Gomon and Kuiter 2009 .
Distribution. Brunei, Indonesia (Kalimantan), Malaysia (Sabah).
Holotype. NMV A25420-001. Paratype: NMV A25420-002.
Type locality. Derawan Island, Kalimantan , Indonesia.
Notes. Hippocampus waleananus was described based on a single specimen. Differences cited included tail rings (32 vs. 27–28 for H. satomiae ) and dorsal fin rays (12 versus 13-14), however a lack of other differences, and its apparent distribution entirely encompassed within the distribution of H. satomiae , lead us to synonymize it under H. satomiae (Appendix M). Further surveys and molecular studies in the region are needed to confirm this.
