Information: |
It is only known
by two specimens from Central Australia that were collected in
1974 from the Bulloo River (Australian Museum records).
Closely related species are also recorded from a few of
the major rivers across northern Australia (Allen 1989).
The former "false- spined catfish, Neosilurus sp C was
described by Allen & Feinberg (1998), however the specimens
from Bulloo River did not fit either described species (Allen,
pers. comm.) |
