Taxon Notes:

Hypseleotris gymnocephala is currently only known from two small creeks in the upper Lachlan River in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB). Hemiclonal lineages involving this species and H. bucephala are widespread across the MDB as well as Bulloo River (Bulloo-Bancannia Basin) and Cooper Creek (Lake Eyre Basin). Hemiclones with H. acropinna are known from the MDB. Some hemiclones have also been recorded from coastal drainages south of the Mary River, including the Brisbane, Clarence and Georges rivers, all within the range of H. galii, although these populations could have introduced from elsewhere (Thacker et al 2022).
