Kaga T. & Heemstra E. 2013. First record of a rare sand whiting, Sillago caudicula (Perciformes: Sillaginidae), from Madagascar. Marine Biology Research 9(3): 316-320. DOI:10.1080/17451000.2012.742547
Résumé [+] [-]Seven specimens (106- 180 mm in standard length) of the sand whiting Sillago caudicula Kaga, Imamura & Nakaya, 2010 previously known only from the type specimens from Oman, were collected from the southeast coast of Madagascar. Thesenew specimens represent the first record of the species from Madagascar and the southern hemisphere. Comparisons in meristic and morphometric characters with the four type specimens from Oman, as well as with the five other species in the subgenus Sillago, allowed their clear identification using the following combination of characters: small head (28.6-30.1% SL), 35-6 total vertebrae, fused or narrowly separated first and second hypurals, fused third and fourth hypurals, and 9-11 dusky spots on midline of body.

Lisher M.W., Gon O., Heemstra E. & Viana S.T.F.L. 2020. First record of the rare Wide-mouth flounder Kamoharaia megastoma (Kamohara, 1936) (Pleuronectiformes, Bothidae) from the western Indian Ocean collected during the ATIMO VATAE expedition to Madagascar “Deep South”. Zoosystema 42(11): 151. DOI:10.5252/zoosystema2020v42a11
Résumé [+] [-]Four specimens of Kamoharaia megastoma (Kamohara, 1936) were collected during the Atimo Vatae expedition to the “Deep South” region of Madagascar for the exploration of fauna and flora, representing the first record of this species from the western Indian Ocean. Kamoharaia megastoma has been known to occur exclusively in the southeastern Indian and Western Pacific Oceans. Morphometric and meristic characters of these specimens are congruent with those described for K. megastoma. A description of the morphology and morphometrics are provided along with photographs. These records constitute a considerable range extension for the species.
