Taxon Notes: | The validity of Scolopsis regina Whitley 1937, described from a single specimen from Australia and long treated as a junior synonym of Scolopsis monogramma (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes 1830), was confirmed by Ishihara et al 2023. Scolopsis regina is distributed off northern Australia from the Montebello Islands, Western Australia to central New South Wales, and Papua New Guinea in depths of 3-102m, whereas S. monogramma occurs in East and Southeast Asian waters (Ishihara et al 2023). | ||||||
