Taxon Notes:	Raadik (2014) noted that Galaxias ornatus was previously considered a junior synonym of Galaxias olidus Günther, 1866 (McDowall & Frankenberg 1981), with which it is morphological very similar. It is broadly distributed south of the Great Dividing Range in coastal, central Victoria between Wilsons Promontory and Cape Otway at an elevation of between 35–800 m asl, though it is probably found up to 1000 m asl (Raadik, 2014)
