| Quote | Muraena helena australiae appears in the caption for pl. 49 following Richardson’s description of Muraena helena from Gibraltar; measurements are presented for the specimen from Australia (which agree with the designated holotype), and for a 30 inch specimen from Gibraltar. Counts,proportions, dentition, and vertebral counts are typical for M. helena from the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. The locality of Australia is considered to be erroneous. |
