The shortfin tandan, Neosilurus brevidorsalis, is a plotosid catfish restricted to the tips of northern Australia and southern Papua New Guinea. In Australia it is recorded only from the Jardine and Jackson river systems on the Cape York Peninsula, and in Papua New Guinea from the Fly River and some other drainages.
