Head and pi-o thorax black; elytra testaceous, with a large black 

 patch on posterior part of disc; four postei'ior legs testaceous, 

 anterior legs ferruginous; under surface piceous. Narrow, cylin- 

 drical. Front rugulose-punctate; vertex foveate in middle; clypeus 

 with median part not divided from wings, lightly emarginate; 

 clypeal elevation prominent, arcuate; a decided sinuosity between 

 supra-antennal plates and wings of clypeus. Prothorax smooth (disc 

 lightly transversely striolate and covered with scattered minute 

 punctures), convex, rather longer than broad (1"35 x 1'25 mm.), 

 lightly narrowed anteriorly (ant. width 1 mm.;. Elytra convex, 

 parallel (2-9 x 1-5 mm.), strongly punctate-striate; striae entire, 

 fourth joining fifth at base; interstices convex, eighth distinct on 

 apical curve; a submarginal carina at shoulder. Prosternum with

Hab. : Queensland — Gayndah (Masters); ISr.S. "Wales — Rich- 

 mond River, Tamworth, tSj'dney (Lea), Narrandera, Carrathool, 

 Mulwala, Junee (Sloane); Victoria — Melbourne (Kershaw); 

 South Australia (Masters). 



The characteristic features of this widely distributed species 

 are the 4-dentate tibia;, the attenuate intercoxal part of the 

 prosternum, and the colour. Immature specimens are often taken 

 of an entirely testaceous colour.
