15380 Rhynchobatus australiae Whitley, 1939 Rhinidae Wedgefishes Rhinopristiformes Elasmobranchii Bottlenose wedgefish Indo-West Pacific: Red Sea, Persian Gulf (Ref. 114953). Gulf of Thailand and the Philippines to Queensland, Australia. A similar and perhaps identical species occurs in the western Indian Ocean off Mozambique and in the Gulf of Aden and is probably sympatric with the true '<i>Rhynchobatus djiddensis</i>' of the western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Distributional range probably wider than reported, but many nominal records of <i>Rhynchobatus djiddensis</i> from the western Pacific and southeastern Indian Ocean cannot be identified to species. 26 S 113 E Rhynchobatus australiae 26 S 113 E Rhynchobatus australiae 26 S 113 E Rhynchobatus australiae 26 S 113 E Rhynchobatus australiae
