widest in front of middle; apical margin feebly sinuate in the 

 middle above, with prominent, ocular lobes; median line feebly 

 impressed; gi-anules rugose, irregularly arranged, often confluent, 

 obliterate in the centre, more distinct and rounded towards the 

 sides; sides without granules. Elytra (11 X 7mm.) rather broad, 

 gradually widened posteriorly; base gently emarginate, humeri 

 prominent, not projecting; seriate punctures open, shallow, each 

 subtended by a distinct setigerous granule. 8utural interstice 

 with a continuous row of granules; second interstice with about 

 eight, narrow, small, elongate tubercles, hardly larger than the 

 intrastrial granules, each bearing a seta at extremity; third with 

 a continuous row of seventeen, similar, elongate tubercles, joined 

 together to make the interstice subcostiform; fourth with six, 

 similar to second; fifth with a row of about eighteen, similar to 

 third, but more rounded; sixth with a similar row of sixteen. 

 ►Sides with interstices with small, flattened, granuliform tubercles. 

 Beneath, flattened over ventral segments, without notable im- 

 pressions, fifth segment very shallowly depressed in middle, the 

 depression obscured by the vitta. Intermediate tibia? emarginate 

 on the inner side subapically. Anterior femora not ridged. 



9. Differs in having the intrastrial granules smaller, and the 

 third and fifth more definitely costiform. It differs also in being 

 convex beneath, and in having simple legs. 



Dimensions: (J, 17 X 7; $, 16 X 6-5 mm. 



Hab. — New South Wales: Lambing Flat (Young), Harden. 

 Type in Macleay Museum. 



The specimens from Harden differ slightly from the type in 

 the elytral interstices; but the species is somewhat variable in 

 this respect, no two specimens, that I have seen, being quite 

 alike. The setae are also of a darker colour. I think that this 

 is probably also a variable character.
