| Quote | The only possible candidate species described from the Philippines is Herre’s (1927) A. mindorensis, which is poorly documented and the type material is destroyed, thus presently considered invalid (Eschmeyer et al. 2017). Nevertheless, Herre’s illustration of A. mindorensis clearly shows a head shape distinctly different from A. albimento and most similar to species with a concave snout profile, such as A. japonicus and A. leucosternon (p. 40). |
