Burma : Senmyingyan ( Genoa Mus.) ; Tenasseeim ( Genoa Mtis.) ; 

 Madras : Madura {coll. Burr). 



Type in the Stettin Museum (?). 



Originally described from Moreton Bay in Australia ; it is very 

 doubtful whether de Bormans's Burmese specimens are really to be 

 referred to the same species. 



The above description is drawn from a male from Toowoomba 

 in the British Museum, agreeing well with a poor specimen from 

 Dohrn's own collection. 



Another specimen in the author's collection from ' Madura ' 

 has no yellow spots on the head and the pronotum is orange- 

 yellow, with tM'o irregular black markings on the prozoua. The 

 coloration is very variable.
