Introduction
Motomura, Last & Johnson (2008) reviewed Liocranium and separated Liocranium praepositum into two species, reinstating Liocarnium pleurostigma as the species from the Torres Strait (QLD) to Exmouth Gulf (WA) and leaving L. praepositum as the east QLD coast species.
Distribution
States
Queensland
Extra Distribution Information
Following reassessment of Liocranium by Motomura et al. (2008), L. praepositum appears to be restricted to the east coast of QLD between approximately 18 and 28 degrees South. Occurrences from the Torres Strait and west appear to be L. pleurostigma; tropical
Australian Endemic.
