Distribution
States
Queensland, Western Australia
Extra Distribution Information
There are no records of P. rugosa in NTM from the relatively well-studied areas of the Kimberley, Darwin Gulfs, Arnhem Land or the Gulf of Carpentaria, suggesting that the populations on the eastern and western coasts of Australia could be disjunct (Reid & Ozawa 2016).
Australian Endemic.
IMCRA
Northwest Shelf Province (27), Central Western Shelf Province (29), Northeast Shelf Province (40)
Ecological Descriptors
At the edge of a shallow lagoon, on silty mud flats and among mangrove pneumatophores
