tanakae, Corythroichthys Jordan [D. S.] & Starks [E. C.] 1906:696, Fig. 2 [Proceedings of the United States National Museum v. 30 (no. 1462); ref. 10666] Tanegashima, Japan. Holotype: CAS-SU 9358 [not USNM 53271]. Paratypes: (7) USNM 53271 (3). Type catalog: Böhlke 1953:60 [ref. 12291]. Type information: Springer & Eschmeyer 1974:567 [ref. 21415], Dawson 1985:122 [ref. 6541]. The spelling tanakae is acceptable; early workers almost certainly Latinized the name first, and then added an 'e' (Art. 31.1.1) [WNE, 12 Mar. 2012] -- we suggest using tanakae if the species is trated as valid. Original genus should have been Corythoichthys. •Synonym of Micrognathus andersonii (Bleeker 1858) -- (Dawson 1982:672 [ref. 5441], Dawson 1985:122 [ref. 6541], Kuiter 2009:234 [ref. 30404] as tanakai and second author as Starcks). Current status: Synonym of Micrognathus andersonii (Bleeker 1858). Syngnathidae: Syngnathinae. Habitat: marine.
