the two preceding combined, apical segment of abdomen entire,

Hab. — Cairns (Macleay Museum). 
Differs from M. aberrans, in being narrower, and without trace 
of median line; in size it is intermediate between that species and 
M. australis. 
Macratria analis, n.sp. 
Narrow, subparallel, subdepressed, shining. Reddish-brown; 
head lighter in colour than prothorax or elytra, the latter with a 
piceous tinge about scutellum and suture; antenna? testaceous, 
apex slightly infuscate; sterna a little darker than prothorax: 
coxa? coloured as prosternum, legs testaceous-red, four anterior 
femora and apical segment of abdomen pale testaceous. Above 
clothed with yellowish silky pubescence, shorter and paler beneath. 
Head minutely, prothorax densely and a little more strongly 
punctate; elytra punctate-striate, the punctures irregular towards 
suture, more distinct towards sides, and obsolete on apical third; 
sterna minutely, abdominal segments very minutely punctate. 
Head not much longer than wide, base feebly rounded; eyes 
large, not prominent; antennae slender, inserted close to eyes, 
reaching intermediate coxa?, slightly thickening towards apex, 
11th joint a little longer than 9th-10th combined and feebly 
constricted in the middle. Prothorax longer than wide, near apex 
wider than head, at base wider than head at base of eyes; apex 
strongly rounded; sides constricted near base, base truncate and 
narrowly margined; median line traceable on basal two- thirds- 
Scutellum transverse, truncate at apex. Elytra wider than pro- 
thorax, feebly diminishing towards apex, shoulders rounded, suture 
feebly depressed near base, and feebly elevated near apex. Meta- 
sternum sulcate on apical two- thirds, deeply on apical third. 
Apical segment of abdomen feebly depressed in the middle, its 
sides at the apex feebly emarginate — allowing the tips of two 
small discs to appear. Legs long and rather thick; femora thick, 
the four posterior only on their apical half; tibia? straight, 
minutely spurred at apex; basal joint of posterior tarsi much
