Hydrophis caerulescens
No full textHydrophis caerulescens (Shaw, 1802). We have identified specimens of H. caerulescens from the northern part of Australia from the Australian Museum and the Queensland Museum. This species occurs in the Gulf of Carpentaria (Cogger, 1975; Cogger et al., 1983; David & Ineich, 1999; Kharin, 2004a; Redfield, Holmes, & Holmes, 1978). We therefore regard H. caerulescens as confirmed from Australian waters.Published as part of Rasmussen, Arne Redsted, Sanders, Kate Laura, Guinea, Michael L. & Amey, Andrew P., 2014, Sea snakes in Australian waters (Serpentes: subfamilies Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae) - a review with an updated identification key, pp. 351-371 in Zootaxa 3869 (4) on page 353, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3869.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494728
Hydrophis melanosoma Gunther 1864
No full textHydrophis melanosoma Günther, 1864. Shuntov (1971) suggested that 19% of the trawled specimens from shoal waters of the northwest coast of Australian belong to Hydrophis melanosoma. This claim was cited by several subsequent authors (e.g. Cogger, 1975; Cogger et al., 1983; Minton, 1975), although Cogger (1992) considered the presence of H. melanosoma in Australian waters as "uncertain". The identifications by Shuntov lacks validation by any specimen of H. melanosoma having been collected or reported from this area since. Shuntov's identification, in our opinion, was incorrect. We therefore exclude H. melanosoma from the checklist and the list of possible Australian sea snakes.Published as part of Rasmussen, Arne Redsted, Sanders, Kate Laura, Guinea, Michael L. & Amey, Andrew P., 2014, Sea snakes in Australian waters (Serpentes: subfamilies Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae) - a review with an updated identification key, pp. 351-371 in Zootaxa 3869 (4) on page 354, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3869.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494728
Hydrophis spiralis
No full textHydrophis spiralis (Shaw, 1802). Ineich and Rasmussen (1997) mentioned H. spiralis for the first time in New Caledonia, which is surprising, as it has never been collected in Australian waters. The known distributions of H. spiralis are the Persian Gulf in the west to Vietnam in the east, Indonesia including Java and Sulawesi in the south (David & Ineich, 1999; Rasmussen, Elmberg, et al., 2011). Whether it was a vagrant specimen from Asia or there is a population at New Caledonia is uncertain, but with only one specimen collected from New Caledonia without precise locality (Ineich & Rasmussen, 1997), we do not include it in the possible list until further specimens have confirmed its presence closer to Australian waters.Published as part of Rasmussen, Arne Redsted, Sanders, Kate Laura, Guinea, Michael L. & Amey, Andrew P., 2014, Sea snakes in Australian waters (Serpentes: subfamilies Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae) - a review with an updated identification key, pp. 351-371 in Zootaxa 3869 (4) on page 355, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3869.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494728
Hydrophis belcheri
No full textHydrophis belcheri (Gray, 1849). Hydrophis belcheri was described by Gray (1849) who gave the type locality "New Guinea" with no further information. Smith (1926) re-described H. belcheri based on 21 specimens mainly from the Philippines, New Guinea and Fiji Islands. Most of Smith's H. belcheri specimens have since been reassigned to the following taxa: Hydrophis coggeri, H. czeblukovi, H. pachycercos and H. pacificus (Cogger, 1975; Kharin, 1983, 1984a; Rasmussen, Gravlund, van Nguyen, & Chanhome, 2007; Rasmussen & Smith, 1997). However, H. belcheri has been confirmed to occur from the Gulf of Thailand to the South China Sea (McCarthy & Warrell, 1991; Rasmussen, Elmberg, et al., 2011). There is a single record of H. belcheri from Australian waters identified by Kharin and Cheblukov (2007). The specimen is an adult female (# TINRO P 40) from the Arafura Sea, collected by V.P. Cheblukov, March 1970. Cheblukov's specimen is in good accordance with the type of H. belcheri, confirming this species' presence in Australian waters (Kharin & Cheblukov, 2007).Published as part of Rasmussen, Arne Redsted, Sanders, Kate Laura, Guinea, Michael L. & Amey, Andrew P., 2014, Sea snakes in Australian waters (Serpentes: subfamilies Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae) - a review with an updated identification key, pp. 351-371 in Zootaxa 3869 (4) on page 353, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3869.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/494728
