Reported depth and habitat data are from R. Froese and D. Pauly (FishBase [www.fishbase.org, version 03/2006]), interspersed with data for P. panayensis and P. bindus for Leiognathidae in general. Various leiognathid species, e.g., Leiognathus fasciatus, Leiognathus nuchalis, and Leiognathus stercorarius, however, can be caught as adult specimens at 0- to 1-m depths in coastal areas (P. V. Dunlap, personal observation), whereas P. panayensis is thought to be an atypically deep-dwelling species (J. Ledesma, personal communication).
