 Comments
       
  Comment: No comment on validity of Ostracion pentacanthus Bleeker, 1857 in Eschmeyer (online Catalog of Fishes, 2004-2015), but FishBase (online, 2017) treats it as a questionable synonym of Lactoria fornasini with the comment 'Probably a junior synonym (K. Matsuura, pers. comm 01/05)'
