Typelocality. “ Queensland.” Specimensexamined. 1 ♀, Queensland, Edungalba[ BBS, S23° 42' 50.6" E149° 51' 03.4"], 30.xii.1967; 1 ♂, Queensland(both CLBC). Distribution. Australia, Queensland. Biology/Bionomy. Barnard (1890)discussed the adults feeding on leaves of a “broadleafed” species of Eucalyptus. Adams (1966)provided a short discussion about his experience with this species including data on the larval host plant ‘Brigalow’ ( Acacia harpophyllaF. 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.
