This species has the apex of the elytra very narrowly tipped with 

 red, a character not mentioned by PASCOE. The species is widely 

 distributed as there are specimens in the MACLEAY Museum from 

 Gayndah (the original locality) and N. W. Australia; others in the 

 Hamburg Museum from Peak Downs and in my own collection from 

 Cairns and the Eichmond Eiver.
