Taiwan voucher material: NSYU uncat. embryo, male, 224mm TL, Dong-gang, Mar 1996 ( Takahashi & Nakaya, 2004) .

Remarks: Very similar in appearance to H. japanica , but differs in having embryos with a distinct complicated pattern of line and rings, more precaudal vertebrae, and a well developed (vs. rudimentary) nasal flap. Two additional specimens were sent to the Fishery Institute at Cheng-gong on 27 Apr 2012, the photos were examined by one of us ( HCH).

Conservation status: Data Deficient.

Conservation status: Least Concern.
