512 ON AUSTRALIAN ANTHICIDAE. 



Hub. — South Australia: Mount Painter (H. G. Stokes), Parachilna (H. M. 

 Hale); Western Australia: Cue (H. W. Brown). 



A beautiful species, with pro thorax (except for the tubercles) and legs 

 sculptured as on M. ziczac, but the elytra with very different clothing; on one 

 specimen from above they appear to be entirely dark, except that the inner tips 

 of the pale lateral spots are just perceptible, on the others they are continued 

 across about half of the disc, and are narrowly connected on the margin. The 

 three specimens under examination quite evidently belong to but one species, but 

 on one specimen there are nine tubercles on the outer edge of the prothoracic pro- 

 cess, on the second specimen two of the tubercles on each side are conjoined, 

 and on the other, three on each side are conjoined so that it has a medio-apical 

 tubercle, a tubercle on each side near it, and then a ridge to the base on each 

 side.
