Remarks: No specimen was examined in this study. Motomura et al. (2011) reported a single specimen (NMMB-P0007637) of S. obtusa from Dongsha in the South China Sea, but no specimen was collected from waters around the Taiwan Island. This species can be clearly distinguished from congeners by its distinct short snout. It has been recorded but misidentified as the juvenile of Synanceia verrucosa and Scorpaenopsis diabolus in the plates of Shao et al. (1993, p. 55) and Chen et al. (2010, p. 99), respectively, both from Kenting, Pingtung.
