 traceable in the middle, larger and more distinct towards the 

 apex and sides. Lateral interstices without evident granules 

 [Abdomen wanting]. Anterior coxae contiguous: anterior tibise 

 almost straight, with rather coarse granules along uiidersurface:

Hab. — W.A.: Kookynie (C. French). 



Type in Coll. Ferguson. 



Although there is but a single specimen, with the abdomen 

 missing, before me, I have described the species, as it is a 

 thoroughly distinct one. The granules on the posterioi' tibiae 

 are larger than in any other species I know; they appear to Ije 

 arranged mainly in three rows, one in the centre, one along tlie 

 outer, and one along the inner edge of the undersurface: the 

 outer row is the most conspicuous, and can best be seen when 

 viewed from behind.

 obliquely strigose, with a few, small granules; separated from
