Hob. Gawler Town, South Australia. 



Vertex smootli, nearly glabrous ; face between the eyes 

 faintly rugulose, sparingly clothed with adpressed yellowish 

 hairs ; clypeus very short, transverse, raised and forming an 

 abruptly elevated ridge ; eyes distant ; antennee equal in 

 length to the thorax, the four or five lower joints obscure 

 fulvous, the rest piceous. Thorax more than twice as broad 

 as long ; sides slightly converging from the base to beyond 

 the middle, thence obliquely rounded to the apex ; basal 

 margin distinctly bisinuate on either side, median lobe pro- 

 duced, nearly rectangular ; upper surface distinctly but sub-

 the disk than on the sides ; interspaces shining, im punctate, 

 faintly strigose (when viewed under a strong lens) on the sides 

 and at the base ; extreme basal border edged with nigro- 

 piceous. Scutellum ovate, acuminate at base and apex. 

 Elytra obscure flavous with a faint brassy tinge, stained on 

 the disk with piceous, the extreme sutural and basal margins 

 narrowly edged with nigro-piceous ; distinctly punctate-striate ; 

 interspaces (when seen under a deep lens faintly wrinkled) 

 plane, hinder half of the two outer ones very slightly convex.

 its shorter, elevated clypeus, and also by its broader and more 

 remotely punctured thorax.
