and not very closely pubescent ; the prosternum rather strongly 

 and closely punctured ; the mesosternum, metasternum, and 

 abdominal segments much less strongly punctured. Length, 6 mm. 



Wide Bay, Queensland. 



This species resembles Nascio munda in having no yellow spots 

 on the elytra, but may be separated by its more strongly punctured 

 head, by its much less strongly punctate-striate eh'tra, and by its 

 more parallel-sided prothorax ; the interstices between the elytral 

 striae and the sides are very irregularly punctured, in which respect 

 it approaches N, viridis.
