Taxon Notes:

Platycephalus australis was previously confused with Platycephalus indicus. The former is endemic to northern Australia and is known from Exmouth Gulf, WA (c. 22 30 S) to south of Moreton Bay, Qld (c. 27 25 S) in 0.5-36m depth. P. indicus occurs in the western Pacific and Indian Ocean, but not in Australian waters.
