Telicota ohara, the northern large darter, is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found in the Oriental and Australian Regions, but not on the Pacific islands. The wingspan is about 30 mm. The larvae feed on Flagellaria indica. It constructs a shelter from a rolled leaf in which it hides by day. At night it emerges to feed on the base of the leaves around the shelter.
