Distribution. Australia, Queensland (13°S) to eastern Victoria, shelf and bays, 4– 53 m.

Remarks. Ampelisca dimboola is recognized by the combination of the short antenna 1, truncate basis of pereopod 7, reaching only halfway along the ischium, and the oblique posterior margin of the crest on urosomite 1. The species was re-illustrated by King (2009) who extended the distribution from eastern Victoria and New South Wales to Fantome Island, Queensland (18°S). The new records extend the species’ range further north to 13°S.
