Introduction

Beveridge & Cribb (2000) provided the most recent redescription of N. dubia, based on the examination of type material and new material from Queensland waters. Although they noted the similarity of their material with previously published accounts, Beveridge & Cribb did not discount the possibility of a second species within the group of specimens they examined.
