Diagnosis. A subspecies of Scorpaena distinguished from other members of the S. papillosa complex by the following combination of characters (all morphometrics based on specimens less than 70 mm SL): pectoral-fin rays 15–17 (mode 16); scale rows in longitudinal series 41–47 (44 or 45); scale rows above lateral line 4–7 (6), below 10–14 (12); scale rows between 6th dorsal-spine base and lateral line 5–7 (5 or 6), between last dorsal-spine base and lateral line 4–7 (5); body depth 29.0–37.6 (mean 33.1) % of SL; upper-jaw length 16.8–20.0 (18.6) % of SL; maxilla depth 4.4–6.1 (5.0) % of SL; postorbital length 17.0–20.2 (18.4) % of SL; least distance between interorbital ridges 0.8–1.7 (1.3) % of SL; 1st anal-fin spine length 9.3–11.8 (10.6) % of SL; anterior lacrimal spine simple or with 1–3 additional spinous points on posterior margin; a single united or two separated pores behind lower jaw symphysial knob; supraocular tentacle tiny or small (usually tiny); all fins of preserved specimens usually blackish or yellowish-brown with many small blackish spots on soft rayed portions; largest recorded specimen 148.7 mm SL.

Distribution. Distributed off southeastern Australia, from Port Jackson, New South Wales (33°S) to the south coast of Tasmania (43°S) ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ) (based on specimens examined in this study). The westernmost specimen-based record of the subspecies (NMV A 11578) is Port Lincoln, Spencer Gulf, South Australia (34°44′25″S, 135°53′04″E) (M. Gomon, pers. comm.). Specimens examined in this study had been collected from shallow rocky reef to deep water habitats at depths between 0–141 m (most commonly in depths less than 25 m).
