Hah. — Galston, N.S.W. (Dumbrell and Lea). 



Allied to Bakeivelli, but at once distinguished by its non- 

 metallic and rather sober colour; the legs are less strongly bent 

 and the head less punctate; from victoriensis (to which on first 

 sight it would appear to be closer) by its corrugate prothorax, 

 subequal elytral puncturation, tibije less strongly curved, ttc.
