Not much different from //. tasmanicus. structurally, but 

 very differently sculptured. The puncturation of the prono- 

 tum is exaggeratedly squamose, so that the punctures appear 

 confluent (or almost so) and thickly studded with small gran- 

 ules (especially in' the front part). The puncturation of the 

 elytra is much finer and closer than in tasmanicus.

Structurally a very isolated species except that it is 

 closely allied to li. uniciis, Blackb., and Froggatti, Macl.
