TypesHolotype: MCZ 48844; paratype: MCZ 
DiagnosisDiagnosis: Closely related to T. broomi Boulenger, of Muldiva, northeast Queensland, of which it may be a subspecies, as it differs only from the description of broomi in its semidivided (not divided labial). It has less in common with T. diversus Waite, of Mowen, Queensland, whose body diameter is included 67 times in total length. (Loveridge 1945)
