$. Second joint of the flagellinn distinctly lon^^nr than 

 the third ; head closely and rather strongly punctured, a 

 carina from the eyes to the antennal tubercles, eyes mode- 

 rately convex, situated about as far from the posterior 

 margin of the head as from the base of the mandibles ; head 

 small, broadly rounded from a little behind the eyes. 

 Thorax coarsely punctured, the punctures more or less con- 

 fluent longitudinally, a little longer than the greatest l)readth, 

 broadly pyriform, the anterior margin broadly arched, 

 median segment coarsely reticulate, the posterior slo|)e 

 almost vertical and rugose. Ai)domen subsessile; second 

 dorsal segment finely longitudinally punctured-ruguh)se, 

 longer than broad, the sides moderately convex. Pygidial 

 area broad, finely longitudinally striated. The longitudinal 

 band of white pubescence on the second dorsal segment 

 reaches from the apex nearly to the base. Hind tibiae with 

 two rows of spines on the outer margin.

This is somewhat allied to inlineata described above, but 

 is a smaller and less massive spicies, M'ith a shorter, more 

 pyriform thorax, and very different arrangement of the white 

 pubescence on the abdomen. E. cordaia, Sm., is perhaps a 

 neai'er ally, but is without the longitudinal band on the 

 second dorsal segment, and has much finer sculpture. 

 K. cordata was described from Adelaide specimens, but also 

 occurs at Yallingup in November and December. The 

 female of the species identified by Andre as E. iiw<osa, 

 Westw., is nearer to this than to any other AVest Australian 

 species, though in that Ciuecusland form the thorax is never 

 ferruginous and the front more coarsely rugose. But 

 morosa was described from West Australia, and I doubt if it 

 is identical with the Queensland form. Errors of identi- 

 fication in species described from the male onlv are very 

 excusable, especially when the type is not available, the 

 black species being extremely difficult to separate.
