Remarks: Smith (1957 b) described the genus Hypogaleus in his description of H. zanzibarensis from Zanzibar, but Bass et al. (1975 b) found no differences between it and the western North Pacific H. hyugaensis. Subsequent authors (Compagno, 1984 b; 1988 a) concurred with those findings and consider the genus to be monotypic with H. hyugaensis taking precedence.
