Genus Amblygaster Bleeker, 1849 View in CoL View at ENA

Bleeker (1849) placed the genus Amblygaster with three species in the family Clupeidae . Amblygaster most closely resembles Sardinella and was formerly considered a synonym. These two genera are distinguished as follows: Amblygaster has a median series of pre-dorsal scales, whereas Sardinella has two series of pre-dorsal scales, and the pattern of fronto-parietal striate on top of head differs between the two.
