//«/>, Australia. 



Apparently spread over the whole continent. Female 

 specimens from North Queenshind have the wings feebly 

 suffused with fuscous and the black marks on the abdomen 

 more extensive than in specimens from Southern and Western 

 Australia. The male is very like that of radula, but differs 

 as noticed under that species. 



3. Campsovieris carinifrons, sp. n. 



? . Clypeus almost smooth, with two jiarallel longitudinal 

 carinse close together on the apical half, the apical margin 

 depressed. Head smooth and shining, with a few scattered 

 punctures on the vertex and a longitudinal frontal sulcus 

 which does not reach the anterior ocellus ; the front round 

 the base of the autennaj and the sides of the clypeus densely 

 clothed with very long white pubescence. Pronotum, post- 

 scutellum,and median segment closely and coarsely punctured ; 

 the mesonotum and scutellum more sparsely punctured, the 

 middle of the mesonotum and the apex of the scutellum 

 smooth ; the anterior margin of the pronotum, the pleurge, and 

 the median segment rather thinly clothed with white pubes- 

 cence. Abdomen shining, the segments sparsely punctured 

 at the base and apex, smooth in the middle and at the 

 extreme apex ; dorsal segments 1-4 and ventral segments 

 2-5 with a close fringe of white pubescence. Apical' dorsal 

 segment rugose with short black setae, with an acute spine on 

 €ach side near the apex. The radial cell does not project 

 much beyond the second cubital cell. 



Black ; the mandibles and the apex of the clypeus fusco- 

 ferruginous. Wings flavo-hyaline at the base, fusco-hyaline 

 with a blue flush at the apex, darkest beyond the radial cell, 

 nervures ferruginous brown. 



Length 13-17 mm. 



(J . Very similar to tlie same sex in C. radula and 

 C/brmos«, but the clypeus is entirely yellow as in radula^ 

 without the small black spot which distinguishes formosa ; 

 the seventh dorsal segnient is not marked with yellow as in 

 radula, and the yellow markings on the ventral surface are 

 similar to those o^ formosa. 



Length 10-13 mm.
