Etymology: Phyllopteryx: Greek, phyhllon = leaf + Greek, pteryx = wing, fin (Ref. 45335); dewysea: Named for Mary ‘Dewy’ Lowe, for her love of the sea and her support of seadragon conservation and research.
Eponymy: Mary ‘Dewy’ Lowe was honoured “for her love of the sea and her support of seadragon conservation and research”. She is the co-founder of the Lowe Family Foundation. The binomial apparently combines her nickname with the English word ‘sea’. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

This species is distinguished by its red colour, and pink vertical bars that extend halfway up the body to the lateral trunk ridges; it has 18 trunk segments; head crest without appendage; enlarged pectoral area; dorsally enlarged spine on trunk ring 11 that is pointed forward; a pair of enlarged ventral spines on rings 8 and 17; the body deepest on ring 12, behind dorsal spine; spines on lateral trunk ridge are not continuous with lateral tail ridges (Ref. 100032).
Occurs more offshore in slightly deeper waters; at 50+m with complex habitat of a mixed reef and sandy habitat with two paratypes collected from the continental shelf (Ref. 100032).
