80 
of the prothorax is black, with the exception of two broad fulvous 
irregular vittze extending from the anterior to the posterior margin : 
prosternum black, shining, projecting between the anterior coxze, and 
the projection deeply emarginate: scutellum rather long, blunt at the 
apex, perfectly black: elytra fulvons, slightly divaricating, conspi- 
cuously carinated, truncate at the apex, and the truncature sinuate 
carinated ; the carine five discoidal, one costal and one sutural; the 
first discoidal originates at the base, and nearly runs into the sutural 
at about one-third of its length; the second unites with the first at 
the base and runs into the apical area of the wing; the third origi- 
nates at the base and runs into the apical area; the fourth originates 
in the humeral angle, dividing at one-third of its length, and the 
two branches counting as two carine, there uniting with the two pre- 
viously described in a confused manner in the apical area: the wings 
are fuliginous, slightly longer than the elytra, and scarcely folded at 
the tip: the abdomen and legs are black, the latter of moderate size 
and proportion: the metatibiee are armed with two spurs. . 
Fem.—Head black, with the exception of a fulvescent tinge on the 
short velvety down of the epicranium: eyes reniform, or almost ar- 
cuate, ferruginous (probably by accident): antennee rather more than 
half as long as the body and moderately stout, 11-jointed ; the first 
joint moderately long; the second very short ; the third about equal 
in length to the first, and together with the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh 
and eighth inclusive, deeply notched at the apex, and receiving the 
base of the next preceding joint in the notch: prothorax uneven on 
the back, somewhat curved anteriorly, and the anterior half of each 
lateral margin uniting therewith in producing a somewhat semicir- 
cular outline ; the posterior half of each lateral margin is concave, 
and a strong but obtuse central tooth is produced on each side at the 
point of union of the convex and concave portions of the margin ; 
the posterior margin is nearly straight ; the colour is velvety black, 
with two broad fulvous vittee, extending from the anterior to the 
posterior margin: prosternum black, thickly sprinkled with a grey 
pilosity, projecting somewhat between the procoxee, and the pro- 
jection emarginate: scutellum rather long, rounded at the apex, vel- 
vety black with fulvous margins: elytra bright fulvous, conspicuously 
earinated, slightly divaricating, truncate at the apex, and the trunca- 
tures sinuate: the carinz on each elytron are five in number, and are 
thus disposed ; the first is near the suture and parallel therewith for 
rather more than a third of its length; it unites with the second at 
the base, and this runs into the apical area and there joins the third ; 
the third originates at the base, exceeds the second slightly in length, 
and joins the fourth in the apical area ; the fourth originates near the 
humeral angle and divides at about a third of its length ; both branches 
proceed to the apical area, and there unite with the second and third : 
wings fuliginous, exceeding the elytra in length, and scarcely folded 
at the tip: legs black. 
Hab. Australia. I have seen but a single specimen of the male, 
which is in the Cabinet of the Zoological Society, and one of the fe- 
male, in the Cabinet of the British Museum.
