The species previously referred to as <i>Giuris margaritaceus</i> (Valenciennes, 1837) was found to be <i>Giuris aporocephalus</i> (Macleay 1884), which is known from Australia, PNG & Solomon Islands. The true <i>Giuris margaritaceus</i> is known from Southwest Pacific: New Ireland (Papua New Guinea), Gaua (Vanuatu), Solomon Islands, Palau, Philippines and Indonesia (Ambon, Ceram, Halmahera, Sulawesi), but not Australia (Keith & Mennesson, 2020; Catalog of Fishes, accessed 21.1.2022). In Australia, <i>G. aporocephalus</i> is confirmed from Claudie River near Lockhart (12°50'S) to Bakers Creek, Mackay (21°11'S), Qld, and literature records are known from the western side of Cape York from Embley River, Weipa (12°50'S, 141°55'E) to Jardine River (10°55'S, 142°13'E) [AFD online, accessed 21.1.22].","habitat":"Freshwater<br>Estuarine<br>Coastal (0-40m)<br>","NameVerifiedSource":"Keith, P., Mennesson, M.I., 2020.
