Siphonotidae FP-11296 is not diagnosed morphologically (gonopods of the few males have not been dissected) and it has not been sequenced to not compromise specimens for necessary future taxonomic work. We here refer all siphonotids from the central Pilbara to this species pending further morphological and molecular investigations. It is possible that Siphonotidae gen. indet. FP-11296 consists of multiple species.

Fauna Portal Records
The map shows all records that have been verified as part of the Fauna Portal project and may not represent the true distribution of a species. Specifically, for described species, check the link to the Atlas of Living Australia on this page for potential wider distributions. Fauna Portal Reference specimens and Linnean types are shown in red. If you identified a specimen that exceeds the distribution of an undescribed species as illustrated here, please contact the Fauna Portal team who can assist with the lodgement of the specimen in a public institution and display on the map.
