  Only 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  previously 
  been 
  known. 
  The 
  

   mesonotum, 
  except 
  the 
  white-haired 
  areas 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Lindner, 
  and 
  

   the 
  scutellum 
  are 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  short 
  black 
  tomentum 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  

   this 
  black 
  tomentum 
  is 
  much 
  more 
  prominent 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  and 
  

   the 
  white 
  median 
  stripe 
  is 
  missing, 
  the 
  white-tomentose 
  areas, 
  there- 
  

   fore, 
  being 
  limited 
  to 
  a 
  small 
  area 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  immediately 
  in 
  front 
  

   of 
  the 
  suture 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  prescutellar 
  area 
  of 
  the 
  mesonotum.

   first 
  and 
  about 
  the 
  anterior 
  half 
  of 
  the

  Of 
  the 
  species 
  referred 
  to 
  Eulalia 
  in 
  this 
  work 
  only 
  E. 
  maculata 
  (de 
  

   Meijere) 
  belongs 
  to 
  that 
  genus 
  in 
  a 
  strict 
  sense. 
  New 
  genera 
  will 
  

   almost 
  certainly 
  have 
  to 
  be 
  proposed 
  for 
  some 
  species, 
  but 
  until 
  the 
  

   relationships 
  of 
  the 
  Indo-Australian 
  fauna 
  can 
  be 
  better 
  determined 
  

   such 
  a 
  step 
  seems 
  inadvisable.
