Table 3 shows the numbers of type specimens held in world collections. There are approximately 779 lots with2217 specimens, including 367 lots with 918 specimens deposited in foreign museums and 412 lots with 1177specimens deposited in Taiwanese museums. Of them, there are 242 holotypes or lectotypes, 5 neotypes, 35 lots ofsyntypes with 143 specimens, and 497 lots of paratypes or paralectotypes with at least 1705 specimens. Nevertheless,there are still 19 species without a primary type specimen, and 11 lots with at least 31 specimens withunknown paratypes or paralectotypes. In this work, we located 16 type series lots and designated 7 lectotypes.Images of most specimens in this work are available at Taiwan Fish Database (Shao, 2010).TABLE 3.

Most of these typespecimens have been examined by us during the repatriation project of TELDAP (Taiwan E–learning and DigitalArchive Program) in recent years. It should be noted that the type series originally deposited in the CarnegieMuseum (CM) is now deposited in FMNH. The collection of Stanford University (SU) is now at CAS. A portion ofthe specimens used in Jordan and Evermann (1902) were returned to Imperial Fisheries Institute and deposited atZUMT; however, most of these type specimens were apparently lost based on our investigation and Mr. KazuoSakamoto’s confirmation. Most of the specimens used by Jordan and Richardson (1909) were sent to CM (primarytypes) and SU (others). The type series used in Oshima (1919) were sent to FMNH (holotypes) and CAS (others)which were mostly relocated by us. The type series used in Oshima (1920) were deposited in ANSP. Yet, a largepart of type series used in later publications by Oshima (1927) was deposited at Taiwan Government Museum [inTainan?] and was apparently lost. The Tonghai University (THUP) collection was transferred to the NationalMuseum of Marine Biology and Aquarium (NMMBP) in 2004.Annotated checklist and type catalog of fish genera and species collected from TaiwanQuadratus Wisner, 1999= Eptatretus CloquetType species: Paramyxine taiwanae Shen and Tao, 1975Family Myxinidae (001)1.
