This species bears much resemblance to Z. picipennut. 
Germ., from which, however, it may be at once separated by, 
inter alia, the absence of any erect hairs on the front margin 
of the pronotum, and the evident (though slight) tendency 
to tridentation of the front margin of the clypeus in the 
male. It seems to be a fairly common species in Victoria and 
New South Wales (southern parts), so that it is difficult to 
believe Sir W. Macleay hart not seen it, but I conjecture that 
he had not noticed its distinctions from piripenn^a. The 
colour of the elytra is very variable, but whatever the colour 
a slight iridescence seems to be constant.
