This is a species of very obscure appearance. In my tabula- 
tion of Scymnus it falls beside lubricus, Blackb., from which it 
differs inter alia by its slightly more evident puncturation, and 
dark legs.

The uniform red-brown color of this insect distinguishes it at 
once from all its allies. In my tabulation it falls beside australis 
from which it differs inter alia by its evidently more convex 
form and the absence of dark markings.

Resembles the preceding which it falls beside in my tabula- 
tion, differing from it and australis in color and in the sparse 
puncturation of its elytra. 
Queensland ; taken by Mr. Koebele at Toowoomba. 
S. Terre-regine, sp. nov. Breviter late ovalis; sat nitidus; 
pube albida vestitus; pallide testaceus, elytris hic et illic 
indistincte obscurioribus; subtilissime sat crebre punctulatus ; 
prosterno medio longitudinaliter depresso; spatio depresso 
sat lato antice minus angustato utrinque subtiliter carinato ; 
elytrorum sutura haud carinata; lamellis abdominalibus

This species differs from its allies inter alia by its very small 
size, its short wide form and its uniformly pallid color. The 
darker blotches on its elytra are scarcely noticeable and look as 
if they were merely the thickly folded parts of the wings show- 
ing through, but on close examination they seem to be real 
infuscation. In my tabulation of Scymus this insect falls with 
the preceding two beside australis.
