Remarks Two oblong otoliths exhibit a vertical posterior rim and an obtuse anterior rim. Tey are also characterized by a flat dorsal rim, a slightly elevated antero-dorsal part, and an oblique antero-ventral rim. Te sulcus is elongated and divided into a straight ostium and a short, squarish cauda. Te described otoliths align with the otoliths of Heteromycteris as described by Schwarzhans (1999: figs. 876–880). Although an extant species, Heteromycteris matsubarai Ochiai, 1963 , is known from Taiwan according to Shao (2023), but the otoliths of this species are not known.
