Introduction

Records of this species from Australia (as Owstonia pectinifer and Sphenanthias sibogae) were based on misidentified specimens of Owstonia taeniosoma (NSW), O. tosanensis (WA) and postlarvae of uncertain idenmtity. The species is retained here because the type locality is only 100 km north of the AFZ and the species is likely to occur in Australia.

Distribution

Recorded from "Australia".

Extra Distribution Information

Tropical, west Pacific (Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines).

Ecological Descriptors

Continental shelf, marine, nectonic.
