Issue
This species is considered as a synonym of Hippocampus kuda Weber, 1913 according to Lourie et al., 2016 (Ref. 115213); but was validated by Stiller et al., 2022 (Ref. 127687, 128218).

Short description
Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total): 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total): 16-18.
Length type is height (=TL - head length). Found in seagrass beds. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).
