Q. Body above black. Head with the apex of face testaceous, the 
ocelli red. Pronotum with three large and confluent ochraceous 
spots on each side, somewhat narrowly separated at centre, and 
almost extending to lateral margins. Mesonotum black, with two

ceous. Abdomen black, with the apical segmental margins testaceous ;

I have been enabled to examine nine specimens of this distinctly 
marked species, all of which, however, were females. In general 
appearance these have a superficial resemblance to the genus Melam- 
psalta. 
[Since writing the above I have discovered one male specimen of 
this species in the Godeffroy collection, which was received from 
Sydney. The opercula are pale ochraceous, with somewhat paler 
margin, and about reach the base of the first abdominal segment, 
they are slightly directed inwardly, the inner margins rounded and 
produced, but considerably apart, and the posterior margins wide and 
very slightly rounded. |
