Taxon Notes:	Multiple authors (Teske et al 2007, Lourie et al 2016, Australian Faunal Directory) have recently regarded Hippocampus queenslandicus as a synonym of H. spinosissimus, so that name is followed here. In Australia, Hippocampus spinossissimus is known from ENE of Monte Bello Islands, WA (20°17'E) to E of North Stradbroke Is. (27°37'S), Qld in 12-70 m depth.
