Gayndah, Q. (Mr. G. Masters). 



This species is very remarkable owing to the structure of the 

 antennae, the 5th and 6th joints of which are much larger and 

 very irregular, the prothorax is much roundly dilated on the sides 

 and the lateral grooves are strongly curved inwai'dly, so that the 

 lateral part seems a separate lobe. 



The specimen examined has been so much steeped in gum that 

 it is impossible to see the under surface of the body. The Q is 

 not known.
