infuscatis, iridescentibus, venis fuscis.

 Long., (S , 8 mm. ; antennarum long. 5'5 mm. ; $ , 8*5 mm. ; 



terebrae long. 9 mm, 



(J . Clypeus very short ; face closely and minutely punc- 

 tured ; front and vertex smooth and sliining ; eyes separated 

 from the base of the mandibles by a distance nearly equal to 

 the length of the third joint of the antennte. Hind angles 

 of the pronotum scarcely prominent ; mesonotum coarsely 

 transversely striated in front, more obscurely posteriorly, the 

 median lobe with a shallow longitudinal median groove ; 

 pleuras closely and finely punctured. Tlie small basal area 

 of the median segment is much broader than long, with a 

 much larger area broadened from the base beyond it and two 

 large lateral areas on each side, the a])ical median area being 

 ratiier indistinctly divided from the apical lateral areas, the 

 wliole segment minutely punctured. Abdomen slender, 

 smooth and shining. Hind tibiae witli a minute spine at 

 about one-third from the apex. Nervulus almost interstitial; 

 iiervellus straight, without an intercepting vein. 



Mab. Yallingup, !S.W. Australia, October (7 M?'ner) ; 1 (J > 

 1 ? . Swan Hiver {iJu Boulay) ; 1 ? in very bad condition. 

 The male is the type. 



This is allied to G. hinnuleus, Krieg., but the colour is 

 very diflerent and the angles of the pronotum are much less 

 prominent and the mesonotum longer and narrower. Tiie 

 group is well distinguished from others of the genus by the 

 neuration of the hind wing.
