J/ab. — New South Wales, Corandja (W. Heron per H. J. Carter.) 

 A typical member of the costate section, I know of no other 

 species with which 1 can compare it except T. crenulatns. From 

 that species it differs in its much larger size, and different clothing, 

 inter aim itiulta. In general appearance it is not unlike a species 

 of Mythites, but it is a typical Talaurinus. 

 Type in author's collection.
