 The four Australian species ma\- be separated as f(jllo\vs : 

 1 Only two subapical cells (the third being- niero-ed in one 

 of the apicals) 1 ocroc 



1 a Three regular subapicals (2) 



2 Tegniina pale, unornaniented 2 thy}iiclc 



2a Tegmina with nianv dark markings (3) 



3 Face evenlv rounded; pronotum immaculat; except tor the 

 punctuation 4 tlioaiitias
