This species is only familiar to me by the illustration in the 



" Genera Insectorium," and the description in the " Magazine of 



Natural History." The only difference I can see between it and 



M. hieroglyphica, God. and Frog, is that the latter is without the 



yellow band on the abdomen shown in Distant's figure. Hab. — 



North-West Australia.
