ELEPHANTODETA FARINOSA, Brunner (ibid). 
Size moderate. Head, pronotum, and base of femora whitish or 
glaucous-green. Disk of pronotum rounded, with a faint whitish 
or yellowish line in the middle. Elytra pale grassy- or olive- 
green, the frontal margin at the base of the marginal area hoary 
in the male, milky-white in the female, with a short dark streak 
on the inner edge at the shoulders. Abdomen of female banded 
alternately green and purplish-brown, the latter tint usually 
narrower than the former. Ovipositor green at base, remainder 
brown, apex darkest ; broad, compressed, semicircularly curved, 
apex much elevated, finely dentate at the underside, total length 
about one and a half times that of the pronotum.

Habitat.—Brighton (Dreyssig), Mount Lofty Range, Murray 
Bridge (Tepper), Morgan (vans), Teatree Gully (Smith),

Australia ; New Holland (Brunner ). 
This species differs from the preceding one in smaller size, pro- 
portion of length of ovipositor to that of pronotum, the pale 
medial line of the latter, &c., and is widely distributed in the 
southern parts of South Australia, where the other appears to be 
absent. There are seven females and one male in the Museum 
collection, and it is a curious fact, that in three specimens of the 
former, the first radial branch is forked beyond the middle, in 
the right elytra, but simple in the left, while the other four 
specimens exhibit normal and symmetrical venation.
