Hyporhamphus intermedius (Cantor)

( Fig. 50 , [LU])

Distribution. Plover Cove Reservoir; Tai Lam Chung Reservoir (current survey).

Native range. Northwest Pacific, including South China ( East Asia).

Remarks. Individuals DNA sequenced from both localities revealed a 4.1% divergence from Hyporhamphus intermedius , indicating it could be a different species despite morphological similarities. Integrative taxonomic work and genetic sampling from this genus is necessary for further verification.
