This species bears a suj^erficial resemblance to Neopiiliecop)s zalmoray but is considerably larger, 
and structurally different. The single specimen in the Macleay Sluseuin is the only one yet eaiiglit 
Avithin Australian limits. IVe have many examples from the Aru Is., the Solomon Is., and Xew 
Guinea, and in these the females are A^ery similar to the males.
