Catalog of Fishes states that as the type species for ''Secutor'' is synonymous with ''L. equulus'' then ''Secutor'' is a synonym of ''Leiognathus'' and prefers Fowler’s ''Deveximentum''. Species There are currently eight recognized species in this genus: * ''Deveximentum hanedai'' (Kenji Mochizuki, Mochizuki & Masayoshi Hayashi, Hayashi, 1989) * ''Deveximentum indicium'' (Supap Monkolprasit, Monkolprasit, 1973) * ''Deveximentum insidiator'' (Marcus Elieser Bloch, Bloch, 1787) (Pugnose ponyfish) * ''Deveximentum interruptum'' (Ac ...
