Platyplectron ornatus (Gray)
MATERIAL.—FMNH 208955 (2 specimens dissected, stages 36, 37, SVLs 12.4, 12.0 mm respectively; stage 37 specimen illustrated.) Collected from Machan's Beach, Cairns, North Queensland, Australia on 25 February 1979, by W. Hosmer.
REFERENCE.—Watson and Martin (1973) provide external characteristics for the larvae of Limnodynastes, including representatives of the genus Platyplectron. Current work (Maxson, pers. comm.) may indicate that Platyplectron is a synonym of Limnodynastes.
