Kieffer places this species in the section of the geuus 

 without spines on tlie hind tibitC, probably because West- 

 wood makes no mention of such spines ; but the spines are 

 really well developed. Though Avidely spi*ead, the species 

 seems to be uncommon.

This is also erroneously placed by Kieffer in the section 

 without spines on the hind tibice. Westwood states that his 

 type came from Tasmania, but the specimen marked by him 

 as p€7-Jida in the British Museum, whicli is undoubtedly the 

 type, is from S.W. Australia. 1 have taken it at Yallingup, 

 and it also occurs at Adelaide.
