The uniformly-coloured rufous prothorax and elytra with clear 
testaceous-red legs and darker head and abdomen will at once 
separate this species from its previously described Australian 
congeners. It is also distinct by its less quadrate head, and its 
prothorax less narrow in proportion to the head and elytra (which 
cause it to appear not quite so slender a species), also by the 
elytra distinctly shorter (in proportion to the prothorax, and also 
in proportion to their own width) than in any of the species I
