Please bear with me. I'm sure I'll mess this up. This is my first use of a talk page. My question concerns the last sentence in the taxonomy section; "In Sri Lanka, It is know by the name Kukulamass.[1]" The site referenced (Florida Museum of Natural History) does not mention this Sri Lankan name. This species is not native to Sri Lankan waters so I'm surprised they would have a vernacular name for it. I believe the reference should have been placed before that sentence rather than after it. But if that's the case what is the reference for the Sri Lankan name? I googled Kukulamass and found many hits but they all had the identical statement as in this article including the grammatical error of know instead of known so I can't tell which if any of them are the original source and suspect that they copied the statement from this article.
In a nutshell: 1 I would like to know the source of the Sri Lankan name and 2 The article would benefit from removal of the ambiguity.

That's according to the OED. I'm revising. -- Evertype· ✆ 19:55, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
