472 ON A NEW SPECIES OP RHYSODID/E. 



longitudinal impression in the middle containing an ii-regular 

 row of punctures ; abdominal segments strongly punctured. Legs 

 pitchy ; anterior tibiae with a short spine near the apex. Length, 

 7|^mm. 



Yass, New South Wales (G. Salting). In rotten wood. 



Differs from all the species known to me in its broad form, and 

 in having its comparatively short prothorax decidedly narrowed 

 behind. Judging by descriptions it may be separated from the 

 New Zealand species by having each elytron furnished with seven 

 striae.
