Hab. — Queensland: Crow's Nest. Type (unique), in Queensland Museum. 



This species may be easily distinguished by its colour and markings ; the 

 median macula is asymmetrical, the part on the left elytron being larger than 

 that on the right, the subapical maculae, however, are symmetrical ; the ground 

 colour of the elytra is latericeous, and the longitudinal rows of scarcely definable 

 punctures are of a bright red ; the latter colour, however, predominates, which 

 gives the insect its reddish appearance.
