Wide Bay, Q. 



This species, which is the very type of Dr. Schaufuss, will be 

 recognised at once by its strong punctures and the short depressed 

 seta 3 which cover the body.

 quadrato, et temporibus magis rotundatis, crista longitudinali 

 integra usque ad frontem extensa et antrorsum bifurcata; seg-

This species has been considered by Dr. Schaufuss as being the 

 9 of ursinus. This is an undoubted mistake, as I have both sexes 

 of each species. 



Very likely found with ursinus.
