Cape York, Queensland: one specimen (H. Elgner leg.); Coll. 

 Tillyard. 



This species has great likeness to Euclimacia nuchalis* Ger- 

 staecker (Mitth. naturw. Yerein Neuvorp. u. Riigen, Bd. xvi., 

 p. 38, 1884), the type-specimen of which (in the Hamburg 

 Museum) [ have examined. In £J. 7iuchalis, the femora and 

 the coxje are blackish-brown. The transverse groove on the 

 prothorax blackish; hind-border of prothorax, meso- and meta- 

 thorax blackish-brown. Abdomen yellowish red, ventrally almost 

 blackish-brown, with the exception of the hind-margin of the 

 apical segments, which is yellow^ish-red. The first dorsal seg- 

 ment almost totally blackish-brown, the following three segments 

 with blackish-brown front margin.
