202 Arthar M. Lm : 



each, side of middle, at apical third. ScuttUuin subtriano;ular, 

 with irreofuliu- punctures. Elytra passing base of penultimate 

 seg-ment of abdomen, strongly nsirrowed to basal third, thence 

 line-like to apex ; each with two punctate or gi-anulate discal 

 oostae, which towards the base cm've rcnmd to and become con- 

 joined by rugulosities on the shf>ulder ; sides and margins 

 raised ; semitrajnsparent portion with shallow obscure punctures. 

 Under surface with dense minute punctures, and dense fine 

 transverse impressions. Length, 30 mm. 



Also from Tasmania (Hobart). 



A large species second only in size to ritfu^. The rugose 

 parts at the shoulders are less in area than in that species, and 

 the scupture of the prothorax is very different. In general ap- 

 pearance (except that it is much larger) it somewhat resembles 

 exilis, but the femora are not reddish at the base. I have 

 described a Tasmanian specimen, as the only one from King 

 Island before me is evidently immaitiire.

Numerous specimens obtained frtjm Melaleuca and Lcptasper- 

 mxmi scrub. 



In some of the females the whole of the under surface, the head, 

 scutellum aind legs are pallid ; and in some males the abdomen, 

 except at apex, is almost entirely infuscate. Tlie second joint 

 of the antennae is distinctly shorter than the third, not "' almost 

 as long," as previously descril)ed; in some specimens, however, 

 it is slightly longer than in others.
