  Originally 
  described 
  

   from

  In 
  this 
  species 
  the 
  median 
  segment 
  is 
  not 
  

   plainly 
  divided, 
  there 
  being 
  no 
  distinct 
  posterior 
  declivous 
  

   portion, 
  the 
  carinae 
  not 
  distinct, 
  the 
  short 
  anterior 
  areas 
  

   smooth 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  deeply 
  depressed 
  at

  pubescent; 
  joints 
  6-10 
  of 
  funicle 
  acute 
  

   on 
  one 
  side 
  apically. 
  In 
  these 
  Tasmanian 
  specimens 
  the 
  

   radial 
  vein 
  is 
  practically 
  confluent 
  with
