Taxon Notes: | Matsunuma & Motomura (2014, Ich. Res.) described P. paucispinula from the Western Pacific (Japan southwards to northern Australia and eastwards to Wallis and Futuna Islands) and noted that Pterois mombasae occurred from the east coast of Africa to the central Indian Ocean and Andaman Sea. In Australia, P. paucispinula is confirmed from the Timor Sea (c. 10 08' S, 129 20' E), but it is possibly more widespread. | ||||||
