Monopterus is a genus of swamp eels native to Asia.[2] They live in various freshwater habitats and some have a fossorial lifestyle.[3]
Species
Four recognized species are placed in this genus:
- M. albus (Zuiew, 1793) (Asian swamp eel)
- M. bicolor H. D. Nguyễn & V. H. Nguyễn, 2005
- M. dienbienensis V. H. Nguyễn & H. D. Nguyễn, 2005
- M. javanensis Lacépède, 1800
Six species from South Asia (M. cuchia, M. desilvai, M. hodgarti, M. fossorius, M. ichthyophoides, and M. indicus) have been reclassified to the genus Ophichthys.[4] Four fossorial or subterranean species (M. digressus, M. eapeni, M. rongsaw, and M. roseni) from India have been reclassified to the genus Rakthamichthys.[5] Two species from Africa (M. boueti and M. luticolus) have been reclassified to the genus Typhlosynbranchus.[5]
