Ho, Hsuan-Ching, Smith, David G., Tighe, Kenneth A., Hibino, Yusuke & Mccosker, John E., 2018, Checklist of eels of Taiwan (orders Anguilliformes and Saccopharyngiformes): An update, Zootaxa 4454 (1), pp. 5-17 : 14

Family Synaphobranchidae

Ho et al. (2015c) listed 7 genera and 17 species from Taiwan. In the present study, two of these are described as new, and the presence of Synaphobranchus affinis in Taiwan has become doubtful because of a lack of voucher specimens. Here we add two more new species of Dysomma , bringing the total species of the family to 21 or 22 (the latter including S. affinis ). There are still unidentified or undescribed species awaiting further investigation.
