Choeroichthys latispinosus, also known as the Muiron Island pipefish or Muiron pipefish, is a species of pipefish native to the western coast of Western Australia,[3] named for its recorded sighting on South Murion Island.[4] It is thought to inhabit the area from Port Denison to Brecknock Island in the eastern Kimberley region.[4]
Described by Charles Dawson based on a single specimen in 1978,[2] the species is still known from only three localities[1] and very few specimens.[4]
