Hah. S.E. Tasmania ; Mt. Wellington {R. E. Turner, 

 Brit. Mus.). 



This species has a very distinct appearance by its hyaline 

 and practically unmarked tegmina from the at present only 

 known two other species of the g'uus ; the strong spinous 

 dilatation of the lateral margins of the pronotum is also a 

 salient ditferential character. 



Mr. Turner informs me tliat he captured this species on 

 the summit of Mt. Wellington (iOOO feet) among stunted 

 vegetation and on a very exposed and windy spot. He only 

 secured one example.
