Readily distinguishable by the conspicuous tertaceous spots on 

 its elytra most of which are placed so as to form an irregular 

 common fascia somewhat behind the middle of the length of the 

 elytra ; also by its small head and narrow prothorax, th») latter 

 havins: its sides less arcuate than is usual in the Australian 

 Trecki.
