Material examined. Northwest Western Australia, Kimberley Region, Camden Sound , Montgomery Island reef flat, barcode 10003037, 24 Mar 2015, WAM Z89009 View Materials (1) ; barcode 10003038, 24 Mar 2015, WAM Z89010 View Materials (1).

Remarks. The taxonomy of Stichopus is challenging today. Based on the living appearance of this animal it could represent Stichopus horrens Selenka, 1867 , or a specimen in the S. monotuberculatus ( Quoy & Gaimard, 1834) or S. herrmanni Semper, 1868 species complexes. Specimens from NW Australia identified by Mark O’Loughlin previously as Stichopus herrmanni are now revised to “ Stichopus unresolved species complex”.
