Species Dampierosa daruma Whitley, 1932

Daruma Stinger, North-west Stonefish

 

Introduction

This genus has previously been considered as a synonym of Erosa Swainson, 1839. Poss (1999) indicated a tentative assignment of the type species to Erosa, but other workers have recognised the genus as valid (Mandrytsa 2001) and Matsunuma & Motomura (2022) redescribed D. daruma and confirmed the validity of the genus. We follow the most recent specialist literature here.
