Type locality.

off Port Jackson, Sydney harbor, Australia.

Distribution.

Sydney Harbor, Australia; 5-10 m depth.

Remarks.

As mentioned for P. delwynae , the taxonomic status between the two Australian species, P. delwynae and P. longistriatus , is not clear. Both were described from a very restricted area and the morphological variation between them is very subtle. There is a need for a more detailed study approach to understand the differences between these two currently valid species.

Type material.

Australian Museum - AM G15402 (Holotype).
