Material examined. NMV J71732, 1 specimen, Australia, Queensland, 1 km E of Yorke Island, Torres Strait, 09.8°S 143.4°E, 41 m (ASB-1 stn) ; NMV J71733–71739, 22 specimens, N end of Hervey Bay, off Burnett Heads, 24.5°S 152.8°E, 22–49 m (ASB-5 stns) .

Distribution. Australia, Queensland (9°S) to South Australia, shelf and bays, 4– 176 m.

Remarks. Ampelisca toora is immediately recognized by the saddle-like crest on urosomite 1 and the oblique posterodistal margin of the basis of pereopod 7 (slightly concave near the distal corner). The species ranges from Spencer Gulf, South Australia, to Torres Strait, Queensland (9°S). Lowry & Poore (1985) recorded it only as far north as Fraser Island, Queensland.
