Taxon Notes:

AFD draft text July 2018 "Kottelat (2013) noted that Secutor is apparently a replacement name for Equula Cuvier, 1815, which is now regarded as a synonym of Leiognathus. He proposed using the name Deveximentum Fowler, 1904 for the genus typically referred to as Secutor. That would make Deveximentum insidiator the appropriate name for this species".
