Gi2:)psland, Victoria (W. W. Froggatt). 



Antennae longer than body, the middle with a broad white 

 band. Face strongly, but not closely punctured : front and 

 vertex smooth, shining, neither punctured, nor striated. 

 Mesonotum closely, strongly punctured, the lateral lobes more 

 finely and closely than the middle one : scutellum with the 

 punctures larger and sparser, its apex irregularly striated. 

 Base of metanotuni smooth, the rest strongly, closely trans- 

 versely striated ; there is only the basal keel. Propleurai 

 smooth, the centre broadly striated. Mesopleurae irregularly 

 striated, striae more or less curved and longitudinal, the lower 

 part more closely striated, the striae intertwining and forming 

 almost reticulations ; the centre has a large quadrangular 

 smooth space. Metapleurae closely, strongly obliquely stri- 

 ated. Postpetiole strongly, second abdominal segment much 

 more closely and regularly, and the third still more closely 

 and finely punctured, the others smooth.

 extending to shortly beyond the base of the parapsidal fur- 

 rows, a mark on apex of middle lobe, twice longer than wide, 

 the base round, the apex transverse, scutellum, the apical 

 slope of metanotuni, the top gradually narrow from the outer-
