106 RECORDS OP THE AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM. 



has the inner angle furnished with short stiff hairs, and the outer 

 side smooth, except at the apex where there are three moderately 

 long bristles ; lower angle smooth also, except at apex where there 

 are two modei-ately long biistles, and a few short fine hairs. 

 Posterior femur has its inner angle similarly clothed to the fore- 

 going, but its lateral apical extremity is furnished with six 

 moderately strong bristles ; outei- angle smooth. The fore tibia 

 has six notches on its upper angle, from each of which a pair of 

 stout bristles proceeds, the upper one of each pair being the 

 longest; in addition to these there are on the outer side, and near 

 the notched angle, two rows of strong hairs, the lower ones being 

 somewhat the longest ; lower angle smooth, but furnished at the 

 apex, on the outer angle, with a pair of stout bristles. Median 

 tibia has also six notches on its upper angle, and is similarly 

 clothed with bristles and hairs to the foregoing ; the outer side 

 is also similar to that of the fore tibia, but its lower angle is 

 clothed with fine hairs ; apex as in fore tibia. The posterior tibia 

 has seven notches on its upper angle, from each of which a pair 

 of stout spines proceeds ; of these the first pair is very short, 

 otherwise the clothing and armatui-e are similar to the median 

 tibia. Of the first and second tarsi, the fourth joint is much the 

 shortest, and the fifth the longest ; all the joints are clothed with 

 fine hairs and a few stout bristles ; the fifth joint of the first and 

 second tarsi have each four pairs of bristles on the under side. 

 Of the posterior tarsi, the first joint is much the longest, and the 

 fourth much the shortest ; the second joint is longer than the 

 third, and the latter rather longer than the fifth ; all the joints 

 of the posterior tarsi bear a numbei' of lateral bristles, between 

 which there is, both on the upper and under sides, two rows of 

 stiff hairs. 



^ Caput. — The front bears a row of seven fine bristles between 

 the antennal groove and the maxillary palpus ; below this there 

 are a number of smaller hairs scattered over the side of the head. 

 Again, below this row there are two long bristles, and further 

 down two more placed closely togethei'. The subapical row forms 

 a complete series, being, unlike that of the female, not interrupted 

 by short, horn-like bristles. The hinder part of the head bears 

 two oblique rows of bristles, those of the second row being much 

 the longer ; below the latter row there is another series of 

 bristles, which form an uneven row and follow the posterior 

 angle of the head. Rostrum rather shorter than that of the 

 female. 



Thorax. — Similar to female.
