Hydrophis caerulescens ( Shaw, 1802) .

We have identified specimens of H. caerulescens from the northern part of Australia from the Australian Museum and the Queensland Museum. This species occurs in the Gulf of Carpentaria ( Cogger, 1975; Cogger et al., 1983; David & Ineich, 1999; Kharin, 2004a; Redfield, Holmes, & Holmes, 1978). We therefore regard H. caerulescens as confirmed from Australian waters.
