Description: Hello, I'm Peter aka Shirt58, a Wikipedia editor and administrator.

I'm currently writing the Wikipedia article for this critter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllophorella queenslandica

At present the taxonomic info here (http://www.gbif.org/species/5097384) is  Animalia › Echinodermata › Holothuroidea › Dendrochirotida › Phyllophoridae › Phyllophorella

There is an Echinoderm genus Phyllophorella of the family Phyllophoridae, but P. queenslandica is a katydid, not a sea cucumber.

Looks to be a case of unrecognised homonyms, see http://bionames.org/search/Phyllophorella. I've not seen the original description of the sea cucumber, but I gather it was originally a subgenus and only raised to genus level in 2012[1], so this may have contributed to the homonymy with the earlier katydid name being missed.
