This species is a common one about Cairns and elsewhere 

 in Northern Queensland, and may be readily distinguished 

 from the other Australian green species by two characters in 

 combination, viz. : — 



1. A strong transverse ridge (almost a carina) across the 

 pygidium. 



2. Elytra with transverse strigae on the sides from neaf 

 the middle to near the apex, then directed across, by way of 

 the preapical callosities, to near the suture; but the apical 

 slopes and the discs entirely without strigge. 



The teeth of the front tibiae are somewhat variable, the 

 hind one being sometimes very feeble. The black tubercle 

 on the shoulder, mentioned by Janson, appears to be due 

 more to handling of the specimens than to any other cause, 

 and on good specimens the black is either altogether absent 

 or is just traceable. An occasional specimen in certain lights 

 appears almost purplish, or something like shot-silk. The 

 male is rather narrower than the female, and has the four
