The species treated as Anago [= Ariosoma] anago by Asano (1962) is in fact Ariosoma meeki (Jordan &amp; Snyder, 1901); the true A. anago was treated by Asano as Ariosoma anagoides (Bleeker, 1852) . Most subsequent authors followed Asano. Previous records of Ariosoma anago from Taiwan are reidentified by us as A. meeki, and records of A. anagoides are reidentified as A. anago . Known from Japan and Taiwan; southern limit of distribution uncertain.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E987BEFF8ABA63BDDAFF50ADC11AD7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This is a new record for the family and genus in Taiwan and is based on a single metamorphic larva from Dong-gang, SW Taiwan. It is tentatively identified as N. danae based on the position of the last vertical blood vessel (LVBV, or renal artery), at approximately myomere 65–71, which is within the range given for this species by Karmovskaya (1985). The comparable count in N. ingolfianus, the only other species in the genus, is 72–78.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E987BEFF87BA6EBDDAFA21AC6E1EE0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In our examination of numerous specimens, we noted that the number of tooth rows changes with growth. There is usually a single row of teeth on both maxilla and dentary in specimens less than 300 mm TL, becoming biserial in specimens larger than 300 mm TL and triserial in specimens larger than 600 mm TL.
