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.

Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
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).
