will follow internationally accepted names unless
alternatives are well entrenched in Australian mainstream
literature.
Subspecies and hybrids
Subspecies and hybrids will not generally be given a
standard fish name.
FNC Use
Not applicable
Structure of names
Requires standard fish names to simplicity in names and
structure (see protocols for full details).
Scientific names
If the scientific name of a species changes, the standard fish
name should remain unaffected unless there is a good
reason for change.
Generic or family scientific names may be used as standard
fish.
Consistent with
the protocols
Other grammatical rules and exceptions : Standard fish
names should adhere to the following:
Use capital letters at the start of each word except directly
following a hyphen
Abbreviated forms of words and combined words are
preferred
Words that end in 'ate': For adjectives a 'd' is not required
at the end of the word. For verbs a 'd' is required at the end
of the word.
Combine words that: precede band, banded, bar, barred or
blotched; or follow double, false or half; or precede line,
lined, speckled, spine, spotted, streak or streaked.
'Margin' (a noun) is used if the type or colour of the margin
is defined (e.g., 'Brownmargin Flathead')
'Margined' (an adjective) is used if it is stand-alone (e.g.,
'Margined Coralfish')
Multi is usually combined (e.g., 'Multispot Lanternfish')
'Shorthead' is one word (e.g., 'Shorthead Lamprey')
'Spangled' not 'spangle' (e.g., 'Spangled Emperor')
Candidate name
is consistent with
these protocols
Will not affect
this name
7. JUSTIFICATION AND CONSULTATION (Applicant to Complete)
Justification: Summarise why the proposed standard fish names is needed and its benefits.
It is preferable to identify the species by its species name. Currently the species can only be identified
by the group name, Tropical Rock Lobster
This will be one of a number of subsequent applications to clean up the Rock Lobster species as
identified in Section 8.

Pronghorn spiny lobster (Panulirus penicillatus)
(Olivier, 1791)
Diagnosis:
Antennular plate with 4 strong spines, which are fused at their bases,
forming a single bunch of 4 diverging points; anterior pair shorter than
posterior pair. Exopod of third maxilliped present, with flagellum. Transverse groove of abdominal somites with straight margins, not
crenulated, usually uninterrupted.
Colour: body greenish or reddish, ranging from yellowish green through
brown green to blue­black or dark reddish brown; speckled on carapace
and abdomen with tiny whitish spots. No transverse colour bands on
abdomen, but two rather large whitish spots on first somite. Antennulae
not banded. Legs with wider or narrower longitudinal yellowish lines or
streaks on a dark (greenish or reddish) background.
Type:
Type locality of A. penicillatus (and P. gigas, which is a replacement name
for A. penicillatus): unknown ("Elle se trouve.....") Type material in
Lamarck collection, in MP? In the Paris Museum there are 7 specimens of
this species labelled "Mer des Indes", or without locality indication. One or
more of these may belong to the type lot, but this cannot be made
certain.
Type locality of P. ehrenbergi: "Coseir" (= Quseir, Red Sea coast of
Egypt). Type in NMW.
Type locality of Cancer theresae: "At Tautira, in the barrier reef", Tahiti;

Geographical Distribution : IndoWest Pacific and Eastern Pacific
regions: Red Sea, E. and S.E. Africa
to Japan, Hawaii, Samoa and the
Tuamotu Archipelago and further
east to the islands off the west
coast of America (Clipper-ton Island,
Revillagigedo Archipelago, Cocos
Island, Galapagos Archipelago) and
in some localities near the continental coast of Mexico (Sinaloa,
Nayarit and Guerrero) (Fig. 286).

152
Habitat and Biology : Depth range from 1 to 4 m, rocky substrates. In clear water, not influenced by rivers, often in
surf zone and in surge channels. Therefore often near arid coasts and on small islands. The species is not gregarious
and is nocturnal, hiding in the daytime in crevices in the rocks and coral reefs.
Size : Maximum total body length about 40 cm, average adult length about 30 cm. Males usually much larger than
females.
Interest to Fisheries : The species is fished wherever it occurs. Mostly taken by hand or with spears during diving in
daytime, or with torch light near the surface at night. Traps do not seem not to be very effective, but are used in
places; trammel nets seem to give better results. On the west coast of Thailand the species is sold in local markets or
directly to restaurants. In the Galapagos the average catch is 50 to 100 lobsters per day. They are sold fresh for local
consumption or as frozen lobster tails.

Type locality of P. fasciatus:“Habitat in Oceano lndico Dom. Daldorff”. I.K. Daldorff, a Danish officer at Tranquebar,
SE. India, collected there for Fabricius and also Herbst obtained material from him. The type material of P. fasciatus
almost certainly came from the Tranquebar area, and there even is a possibility that Herbst’s material of C. polyphagus
was also obtained from Daldorff, so that the type localities of the two species would be very close, but this is only a
guess. Three syntypes of P. fasciatus are in UZM, preserved in alcohol, condition reasonable.
The statement of the type locality of P. orientalis is: “Japan. Salmin”.Balss (1914:76), who examined Doflein’s type
specimen and synonymized P. orientalis with the present species, remarked that the locality indication “Japan” is
doubtful “da auf Salmins Fundorte in unserer Sammlung kein Verlass ist” and as the species was not known from Japan.
C-L. Salmin was a dealer in natural history objects in Hamburg in the second half of the last century (the Lei den Museum
had dealings with him between 1863 and 1875) and evidently, like several of such dealers at that time was not very
accurate with labelling his material. The true type locality of P. orientalis thus is unknown; the holotype was in ZSM,
now probably lost (not located in 1989).
Geographical Distribution : Indo-West Pacific region,
from the coasts of Pakistan and India to Vietnam, the
Philippines, Indonesia, N.W. Australia and the Gulf of
Papua (Fig. 288).
Habitat and Biology : The species is found on muddy
substrates and sometimes on rocky bottoms. Often found
near river mouths, in turbid water. Depth range from 3 to
90 m, but usually far less than 40 m.
Size : Maximum total body length: about 40 cm, common
from 20 to 25 cm.
Interest to Fisheries : In the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of
Thailand, the species is quite important commercially. In
India, the main fishing season extends from November to
March. The animals are caught by trawling, but also with
set nets, seines, etc.;they rarely enter traps. Sold fresh
and frozen in local markets and also transported to the
larger towns. Served regularly in restaurants in Thailand,
and else-where. In Thailand, mounted dry specimens,
usually in fancy glass cases, are sold as curios to tourists.

Remarks: As the specific name fasciatus formerly has often been used not for this species but for P. versicolor, old
records of P. fasciatus have to be treated with much reserve.

Geographical Distribution : Eastern Atlantic region: west coast
of Africa between Cape Juby (Morocco) and Mocâmedes .(S.
Angola), and western Mediterranean (east coast of Spain, south
coast of France) (Fig. 290).
Habitat and Biology : The species inhabits shallow water from
the sublittoral to 40 m, but is mostly found between 5 and 15 m.
It seems to prefer rocky bottoms.
Size : Maximum total body length 35 cm, usually not more than
25 cm.
Interest to Fisheries : The species is fished for throughout its
range, mostly with vertical nets or by trawling; it is also taken by
hand or with lobster pots. The lobsters are sold fresh locally.
French (Breton) and Spanish fishing boats bring the specimens
alive (or frozen) to France and Spain where they are marketed. In
some places in Spain, the lobsters are kept alive in “viviers”
before being sold. In Angola “the quantity of “lobsters“ is not
sufficient to assure the development of fisheries on large
commercial scale” (Da Franca, 1966: 1).

Type : Type locality of Palinurus versicolor: “Cette jolie espece nous est arrivée par la frégate le Naturaliste”.. The
“Naturaliste” together with the “Geographe” left Le Havre, France, on 18 October 1800 on a voyage of discovery to
Australia. F. Peron and CA. Lesueur, whose names as zoologists are well known in connection with this expedition,
shipped on the Géographe, the zoologists on board the “Naturaliste” were G.J.B.M. Bory de St Vincent and D. Dumont.
Bory de St Vincent, however, did not travel beyond Mauritius, where he stayed for a year. The two ships arrived at
Mauritius (Ile de France) on 16 March 1801 and left 25 April. The “Naturaliste” reached SW. Australia on 27 May 1801
and went from there to Timor where she stayed from 22 August to 13 November 1801. From Timor the “Naturaliste”
went around S.W. Australia to Tasmania and Port Jackson, Sydney, and returned from there the same way to Shark Bay,
Western Australia, which was left 23 March 1803 for Timor. On 3 June 1803 the ship headed home from Timor via
Mauritius. The only two localities where the “Naturaliste” could have collected Panulirus versicolor are Mauritius and
Timor. It seems best to select Mauritius as the restricted type locality. Types in MP, see under type of P. taeniatus.
157
Type locality of P. taeniatus: “Habite les mers de la Nouvelle Hollande” Lamarck (1818:211) cited P. versicolor
Latreille as a synonym of his P. taeniatus (although he himself used the name versicolor for a species that probably is P.
penicillatus). As Lamarck claims that the type specimens of his P. taeniatus are rather small, just as Latreille (1804) did
for his own P. versicolor, it is possible, that taeniatus is just a new name for versicolor Latreille, and that the type
material of the two is the same. The fact that the object of the voyage of the “Naturaliste” was to explore Australia
(“Nouvelle Hollande”), may be the reason that Lamarck gave Australia as type locality for P. taeniatus, while its types
probably were actually collected in Mauritius or Timor. In the Paris Museum, there are 3 specimens identified by
Lamarck as P. taeniatus labelled “Ile de France” (= Mauritius), which may be the syntypes of this species and of P.
versicolor.
Type locality of P. ornatus decoratus: “Java”, Indonesia. Type material in NMW.
Type locality of Puer spiniger: “Amboina”, Moluccas, Indonesia. Depository of syntypes unknown.
Type localities of Panulirus demani: “Blanche Bay, New Britian” (1 male syntype in ZMC, in alcohol, good condition),
“Amboina” (Moluccas, Indonesia),“Neu-Guinea” (= southeast coast of Papua New Guinea between Yule Island and
East Cape),“Thursday island” (Torres Strait, Australia) (material from the last three localities reported upon by
Ortmann, 1894, the syntypes probably in the Zoological Institute, University of Jena, Germany), “Java-See” (Java Sea,
Indonesia) (De Man, 1896; 2 juveniles syntypes in ZML).
Type locality of Senex ornatus laevis:“Singora” ( = Songkhla, S. Thailand on coast of Gulf of Thailand). Holotype male
in ZMC, in alcohol, condition good.
Geographical Distribution : Indo-West Pacific
region: entire Red Sea and east coast of Africa (south
to Natal), to southern Japan, Micronesia, Melanesia,
northern Australia and Polynesia (Fig. 294).
Habitat and Biology : In shallow water, from the
sublittoral down to 15 m depth; in coral reef areas,
often on seaward edges of the reef plateau. In clear
water also in surf areas. The species is nocturnal and
not gregarious; in daytime, it hides in crevices and
cavities of the rocks.
Size : Maximum total length about 40 cm, average
length less than 30 cm.
Interest to Fisheries : The species is taken wherever
it occurs, mostly for local use; like all spiny lobsters it
is considered to be excellent food. It is taken in
daytime by divers, either by hand or with spears; at
night it is hunted and speared at the reefs with the
help of torch lights, it rarely enters trapsOn the west
coast of Thailand, it is sold fresh in markets or directly
to restaurants; mounted specimens, usually in fancy
glass cases are sold as curios to tourists.
