‘, Besides this and another specimen presented by Mr. French a 
third from North Queensland reached the Museum collection. 
Although all these agree well with the original description, yet 
differ in minor details. Thus Mr. French’s specimen has the black 
disk of the pronotum longitudinally divided by a reddish stripe, 
and the black apex of the elytra very small. The Dandenong 
specimen has the black undivided area of the disk of the pronotum 
distinetly quadrangular, with the hindangles truncate, and the 
black patch at the apex of the elytra much larger; while in the 
Queensland specimen the black area of the pronotum is much 
reduced in size and hexagonal in shape, and the black color 
occupies not only about one-fifth of the elytra, but also borders 
the whole of the sutural margins. All the three differ also in 
size, Mr. French’s specimen being the largest, and that from 
Queensland the smallest. The ventral segments of the abdomen, 
except the two last, and the lateral margins above and beneath 
are bordered white.
