Waite's pipefish (Corythoichthys waitei) is a species of Indo-Pacific pipefish from the family Syngnathidae which is found from the Philippines east to Samoa, south to Papua New Guinea.[1] It was previously considered to be a synonym of Corythoichthys intestinalis but is now considered to be a valid species by many authorities.[2] The specific name honours the England ichthyologist Edgar Ravenswood Waite (1866-1928).[3]
