moderately emarginate. Head and thorax extremely minutely and 

 densely punctate, having a somewhat sericeous appearance. The 

 dorsal channel of the thorax is broad and very shallow on the basal 

 half, with a very faint elevated ridge in the middle, the lateral 

 foveas are rather large and extend to the middle. The scutellum 

 is depressed in the middle and very minutely punctate. Elytra 

 less coarsely punctate than usual, the two longitudinal ridges 

 distinct. Anterior tibiae bidentate, the teeth reddish. 



Length, 2 lines. 



Hab. — New South Wales.

 golden-red, the upper surface rather densely yellowish-pilose. Head 

 densely punctate, the clypeus of the male very slightly emarginate 

 and reflexed. Thorax densely and finely punctate, the dorsal 

 channel on the basal half forming two rather narrow foveae 

 separated by a rather broad interval, the lateral foveae are deep 

 and do not reach the middle. The scutellum is slightly depressed 

 in the middle. The elytra are densely and sharply punctate, the
