Comments:
Museum: reef in Culion Harbor, CAS-SU 25520 (holotype of Salarias colei). Estancia, Panay, CAS-SU 28253 (holotype of S. martini) (Ref. 9962). According to Springer and Williams (1994), "this species is known only from the type series of its two nominal synonyms, collected more than 50 years ago. Considering all the collecting activity that has occurred in the Philippines in the past 20 years, it seems amazing that this clearly shallow-dwelling, once common species has not been re-collected. We fear it may be extinct". (Ref. 48613). Also Ref. 9962. Also known from Palawan and Panay (Ref. 90102).
