Comments

Divaricella ornata is not a valid name (WORMS accessed 10 Mar 2017). It is a synonym of a West African species, Divaricella chavani, but that species is not found in Australia. The specimens recorded from Lizard Island (and the GBR) as Divaricella ornata may be Divaricella irpex which is a valid name and has been recorded from the area.
