1983 Carapus sp. —Ohe: pl. 9, Fig. 2 View Fig [ Japan].

Remarks Two triangular, massive otoliths with a fused colliculum, a flat inner face, and a predominantly convex and thickened outer face are confidently classified as belonging to the carapid family. Te outline of the otoliths and the proportion of the sulcus to the otolith closely resemble those of the genus Encheliophis (Smale et al., 1999: pl. 33, fig. E), suggesting their affiliation with this genus.
