Remark. Technically, Salmo saramao is a senior synonym of Salmo formosanus Jordan and Oshima. However, the present name is considered as a forgotten name, predating Salmo formosanus Jordan and Oshima, 1919. One of two syntypes, a full grown male, collected from Taiko River between Shikayabu and Saramao is apparently lost. Only the syntype, SU 23054, is now present in CAS collection. We herein selected this specimen as lectotype.
