%X Ellochelon vaigiensis is a monotypic, catadromous, and widespread species throughout Indo-Pacific region. Taxonomy of the species is ancient and somewhat confused by morphological resemblance.  Here, we  present  and  compare  the  morphological  characteristics  of  E.  vaigiensis  from  3  distinct  areas,  respectively  from  the  type  locality  (Waigeo  Island,  Raja  Ampat),  from  Cendrawasih  Bay  (Biak  Island),  and Kaimana (Venu and Aiduma Islands). All the samples belong to E. vaigiensis following the species diagnosis  given by Harrison and Senou (1999). No significant differentiation is found for all meristic and morphological characters between specimens caught from the type locality and Biak Island. Nevertheless, specimens  from  Kaimana  have  a  slender  body  width  compared  to  specimens  from  Waigeo  Island  (type locality) and Biak Island. Specimens from  Kaimana also display a longer head and a larger eye diameter than  specimens  from  Biak  Island.  A  canonical  discriminant  analysis  made  on  all  morphometric  data  confirms  the  morphological  differentiation  of  Kaimana?s  specimens  compared  to  the  type  locality  and  Biak  Island.  These  results  suggest  the  possibility  of  the  presence  of  cryptic  species  in  E.  vaigiensis  and emphasize  the  necessity  to  conduct  molecular  taxonomy  to definitely  solve  the  taxonomic status  of  Kaimana specimens.
