median segment, the legs, the base above of the 2nd abdominal 

 segment and the whole of the 4th and 6th segments, chrome 

 yellow ; the basal two-thirds of the mandibles and the underside 

 of the basal three or four joints of the flagellum fulvous. Head 

 thorax and abdomen finely punctured, rugose and opaque. Head 

 broad transverse above, broader than the thorax. Thorax subglobose, 

 the enclosed space at the base of the median segment smooth tri- 

 angular convex, and divided medially by a broad longitudinal 

 furrow. Abdomen elongate narrower than the thorax, the basal 

 segment subpetiolate, the constrictions between the segments well- 

 marked ; pygidial area flat, punctured and laterally margined. 

 Wings hyaline slightly infuscate towards the apex. 

 Length cJ 11 mm. Exp. 23 mm. 



Described from a single example. 



Nearest to C. avstralis, Saussure, but the enclosed space

 tation of the abdomen much coarser and the distribution 

 of the black and yellow colours especially on the abdomen 

 quite different.

 the antennae, the pronotuni, the tegulae and a short broad line 

 on the mesonotum above them, the scutellum, postscutellum, legs,

 the apical margins broadly of the 3rd to the 5th and the whole 

 of the apical segment orange red ; the coxae and femora of the 

 legs variegated with black ; wings fiisco-hyaline darkening towards 

 the costal margins of the forewings. Head above and the thorax 

 somewhat coarsely punctured, rugose and pubescent, abdomen 

 pubescent, the apical margin of the 1st segment widely emarginate 

 in the middle above, the apical three segments strongly curved 

 downwards, a well-marked constriction between the basal two
