Recent studies suggested that accurate species identification in the tropical anguillid eels based on morphological examination requires confirmation by molecular genetic analysis. Previous studies found that two tropical anguillid eels, and , were found in peninsular Malaysia (West Malaysia) based on morphological and molecular genetic analyses. This study is the first record of in peninsular Malaysia confirmed by both morphological and molecular genetic analyses. The present study also suggests that accurate tropical eel species identification is difficult by morphological identification alone; therefore, molecular genetic analysis is needed for precise species confirmation.
最近的研究表明，基于形态学检查对热带鳗鲡进行准确的物种鉴定需要通过分子遗传分析来确认。先前的研究发现，根据形态学和分子遗传分析，在马来西亚半岛（西马来西亚）发现了两种热带鳗鲡。本研究是通过形态学和分子遗传分析证实的马来西亚半岛该鳗鲡的首次记录。本研究还表明，仅通过形态学鉴定很难准确鉴定热带鳗鲡物种；因此，需要进行分子遗传分析以进行精确的物种确认。
