Discussion. This is a very large Enithares species, originally described from a type-series taken at Port Warren- der in northwestern Australia, with additional paratypes from Kalumburu Mission ( Lansbury 1984). The specimens reported here came from the same general region of the continent, and based on available records this species appears to be endemic to the Kimberly Plateau.
