prothorax, sometimes there is a pale transverse patch of scales on 

 the elytra at the summit of the posterior declivity, rarely there is 

 an oblong patch of pale scales continuous from the base of the 

 elytra to the summit of the posterior declivity. There are always 

 two fascicles between the eyes, which are usually (but not invari- 

 ably) composed of pale, sometimes snowy-white, scales. The cloth- 

 ing of the under surface is also variable, but the three apical seg- 

 ments are always sparsely clothed. Length, 5§ mm. 

 Hab. — Tasmania, widely distributed, and common.
