Editor's comment Online catalogues (consulted November 29, 2016) of the collections of the Australian Museum, Sidney (AM), the Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK), and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington (USNM) refer the type locality of the species as being 'Pambula Estuary', near Merimbula. After consulting Day & Hutchings (1984) for the collection data and checking maps of the region, besides the original description by Hutchings & Murray (1984), it is considered here that 'Pambula' is probably a lapsus, and that the type locality is Merimbula, as originally stated.

Etymology The specific epithet bibrancha is composed by the Latin prefix bi-, meaning 'twice' or 'two', and brancha, from the Latin noun of Greek origin branchia, meaning 'gill', and refers to the bifid nature of the branchiae of the species. [details]
Habitat Sandy intertidal protected beaches, often at seaward margins of estuaries. [details]
Type locality Merimbula Lake, seaward side between mouth and jetty 200 m upstream, New South Wales, Australia (gazetteer estimate -36.8944°, 149.9208°), intertidal, protected sandy beach. [details]
