Remarks.
The
three adult
specimens from north
Queensland
, included herein to document their presence there, agree well with published accounts (
Henderson 1888
,
Gordon 1955
,
Baba 1982
). The juvenile specimen from
New South Wales
(
9.1 mm
) differs from adults in size related features: the rostrum is relatively longer, and the degree of overall squamation and spination is markedly less pronounced.
Distribution.
Japan
, both sides of the Pacific, the Gulf of
Panama
(

) and now from eastern
Australia
