and closely punctured on upper edge of truncation, apical margin 

 feebly raised with a depressed area before it, giving the appear- 

 ance of a transverse carina before the depression. Second seg- 

 ment with five strong transverse carinas, including the raised 

 apical margin. The three following segments sparsely punctured, 

 smooth at base and apex. Pygidium strongly compressed at 

 base, ovate-lanceolate. Ventral segments, including the fifth, 

 strongly punctured. Entirely dark brown. Length 10 mm. 



Hab. — Australia (Smith); Cooktown and Mackay, Q. (Turner;.

£. Clypeus advanced, rather narrowly truncate anteriorly, 

 punctured, with a faint median carina from base not reaching 

 apex. Head large and broad, finely and very closely punctured,

 anterior ocellus. Thorax very closely and finely punctured, 

 scutellum rather more strongly punctured. Prothorax with a 

 very narrow, shining, depressed transverse line just behind the 

 slightly raised anterior margin, short and very broad. Scutellum 

 large, prominent, raised above mesonotum and postscutellum, 

 with a depressed, smooth transverse line at base, subtruncate at- 

 apex. Median segment depressed, obliquely truncate from close 

 to base, closely and finely punctured, with white pubescence on 

 sides. Abdomen short and broad, all the segments rather closely 

 punctured, smooth at extreme apex, segments 2-5 with a depressed 

 transverse line near base, the two apical segments more coarsely 

 punctured. Basal segment beneath truncate vertically at apex 

 and armed with a long acute tubercle. Hypopygium rounded, 

 with the usual apical spine. Black; clypeus yellow, a short 

 transverse mark in middle and a circular one below it brown, the
