broader than £. Pradieri, and much darker in colour, 
slightly shining. The antennre are very similar. The 
head differs only in the greater convexity of the eyes ; it 
is punctate on each side, and has some strigfe towards the 
base of the antennre. There is a great similarity in the 
outline of the thorax, but it is very much broader, and 
the slight basal lobe is only a further development of the 
arcuated base-line of Pradieri. The elytra are tlu-oughout 
thickly punctulated, and have very distinct punctured 
stria?. The abdomen and metasternum are punctured and 
pubescent. 
The metathoracic epimera in all three species are very 
short and transverse-linear.

Corpus oblongum, vix convexum, glabrum. Caput

Closely allied to Endijnomcna, from which it differs in 
the distinctly lobed base of the thorax. The insect on 
which it is founded much resembles se^'eral Australian 
species, which differ chiefly in the much shorter pectina- 
tion of the claAvs and other characters.
