1. Lansbury 
from South Western Australia (Fig. 13) differs from 
the Northern Territory form (Fig. 14) and both are 
distinct from the form figured from S.E. Australia 
by Lansbury (1969: 447, fig. 46). 
It is possible that thienemanni may be a group of 
sibling species. The distribution gap between its 
widespread occurrence over 'southern' Australia 
including Tasmania and the apparently sparse 
records from Java does need further investigation.
