The large darter or southern large darter (Telicota anisodesma) is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found along the south-eastern coast of New South Wales and the north-eastern coast of Queensland.

The wingspan is about 30 mm.

The larvae feed on various rainforest species, including Flagellaria indica. They live in a cylindrical shelter made by rolling a leaf tip, leaving an entrance at the bottom.
