 Comments
       
  Comment: Eschmeyer (online Catalog of Fishes, 05-May-2004) notes current name for Leptocephalus rostratus Schmidt, 1909 only as Ilyophis. The status notes are: "Leptocephalus stage as valid -- (Smith 1989:693 [ref. 25416]). Questionably a senior synonym of Ilyophis blachei Saldanha & Merrett 1982 -- (Robins & Robins 1989:239 [ref. 13287])"
