 figure of 6r. nel)ulosa, especially in the arched head, less prominent eyes, different 

 contour of pronotum, and the red and black anterior legs.

Hah. Westwood says of this species: "Habitat Adelaida (Fortnum) 

 in Mus. Hope; alterum e Ceylonia (Thwaites) omnino simillimum accepi. " It 

 is probable, however, that the species has been recorded from Australia in error.
