Habitat.—Cooke’s Plains, east of the Lower Murray River, 
where one female and four males were captured by the author on 
January 5th, 1887. The insects appeared to feed on Bursaria 
spinosa. 
This species resembles Symmachis considerably in outline and 
venation of the elytra, and also in the form of the deflexed lobes 
of the pronotum, it also appears to exhibit affinities with C. inermis 
and C. bispimulosa ; from all of which it differs by the rosy colour 
of the wings, the form of the lobes of the pronotum, the unarmed 
femora, &e.
