The larva (from the latter locality) is much paler than the adult, and the 
margins of the yellow raeso- and metanotum narrowly black, while the submarginal 
dark stripe of the abdomen is almost obsolete. These differences, however, I 
consider as due to immaturity. 
LoboptePa, sp. There is a single male nymph from Finke Gorge, which 
resembles Z. circumcincta., Tepp. (Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., 1893, p. 37), in size and 
colouring, but differs in the pronotum being marked by a large circular testaceous 
patch in the disk, the hind margins of meso- and metanotum being narrowly 
piceous in the middle, widening out gradually, the lateral lobes very much produced 
posteriorly, and the cerci dark instead of pale. Owing to the immaturity of the 
specimen no name can be attached.
