Muell. ex Benth) and adult host plants ‘Coolibah’ and ‘Grey Box’ (  Eucalyptus microthecaF. Muell.=  E. coolabahBlakely & Jacobsin W. F. Blakely). Adams (1966)noted “clearing of Brigalow in the Fitzroy Basin has virtually destroyed  P. ajaxthere.” Remarks. The synonymy of  P. telamonhas been accepted since Obenberger’s catalogue (1926). The species is well defined and bears a superficial resemblance to  Austrophorella quadrisignata. The typesof this species and its synonym (  ajaxBMNH,  telamonZMUH) were not examined for this study.
