doi:10.1071/SB19034 Originally named after collector Thomas A.Gulliver, the replacement epithet is based on the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver on the island of Lilliput (J.Swift), located 'north-west of Van Diemen's Land' and, hence, logically part of what is now Australia. A tale of adventure in unknown lands, Swift's book captures the adventure and trepidation that Thomas Gulliver might have experienced while exploring northern Queensland in the 1870s with the Telegraph Department.
