cess small and sharply triangular. Metasternum briefly longi- 

 tudinally sulcate at apex. Legs long and slender, tibiae slightly 

 enlarged, with a small spine at apex, tarsi with penultimate joint 

 very short, posterior with 1st joint not as long as the rest 

 conabined. 



A genus separated from any of the described genera in Maklin's 

 monograph by the different prosternum with its contiguous cox8e> 

 and widely distinct in form and sculpture from the other de- 

 scribed Australian Strongylia. At first, it seemed a possible 

 member of the Qj^demeridse, but the anterior coxal cavities closed 

 behind preclude this.
