Remarks: Once considered to be conspecific with Hemigaleus microstoma Bleeker, 1852 which occurs in the Western Central Pacific. White et al. (2005) noted that its presence in PNG needs validating. Restricted to northern Australia and PNG; possibly restricted to the southern coast from Western Province through to Orangerie Bay.
