Also represented by ten catalog records ( 41 specimenstotal) in the USNM collection collected by rotenone off southern Taiwan.  Remarks. Previous Taiwanese records of  K. hyoproroidesand  K. diodontusrepresent misidentifications of  K. japonicusand are not valid. The only voucher present in Taiwanis reidentified as the present species. It is notable that there are four rows (two on each side) of blunt teeth on the vomer, whereas the original description described only two, one on each side. However, one of us (KAT) has observed a number of specimens of  Kaupichthysthat have two rows of teeth on each side of the vomer.
