towards base, very narrowly on apex); femora piceous, tibia?, tarsi, 

 palpi and joints 5-1 1 of antennae testaceous, four anterior tro- 

 chanters brown, coxa? testaceous, joints 1-4 of antenna? piceous 

 (joints 1-3 brownish in parts); clypeus black; mandibles piceous. 



Head hardly wider across eyes than prothorax (41 mm.). 

 Labial palpi with basal stalk long, projecting beyond lobes of 

 mentum. Pi'othorax subcordate (3 - 7 x 4 mm.), wider across apex 

 (3-4 mm.) than across base (3 # 1 mm.), convex, sharply and deeply 

 declivous to depressed basal area; sides lightly arcuate on anterior 

 half, obliquely narrowed to base; anterior margin sinuate, very 

 shortly bordered on each side near anterior angles; anterior 

 sulcus deeply impressed on each side, shallow across disc; 

 posterior sulcus deeply impressed; lateral border entire, narrow, 

 reflexed, reaching base. Elytra convex, oval (9*5 x 5-7 mm.), 

 widest about middle, lightly rounded on sides, narrowed to 

 base ; humeral angles not marked, base hardly ampliate on 

 each side of peduncle; disc not declivous to peduncle; surface 

 smooth, impunctate on posterior two-tbirds, basal third punctate 

 (without rugosity) in longitudinal rows; punctures smaller and 

 less closely placed towards sides. Presternum before coxa? 

 roundly convex, this rounded convexity defined before and 

 behind by a well marked transverse sulcus. Metasternum as in 

 M. greyana SI. — short between intermediate coxse; episterna 

 short, flat, subcordate. Ventral segments impunctate, longi- 

 tudinally striolate laterally, sixth triangularly excised at apex as 

 in M. australis Chaud. Posterior trochanters not reaching to 

 posterior margin of third ventral segment; posterior femora 

 extending to apex of abdomen. Four anterior trochanters bear- 

 ing a fine seta. Length 15*5, breadth 5*7 mm. 



Hob. — Northern Territory : Katharine River (Coll. French; 

 unique). 



A very distinct species, differentiated at once from all the 

 described Australian species by having the lateral border of the 

 prothorax entire and attaining the base; the bicolorous legs and 

 antennse are very conspicuous and sufficiently peculiar to differ- 

 entiate it from all other species; a black clypeus is only found
