Locality. —Reedy Hole, George Gill Range. 
There is a male larva besides from Palm Creek, which I am inclined to asso¬ 
ciate with the above on account of similar size and apparently characteristic 
streaking of the legs, and notwithstanding the otherwise very different colouration, 
as the latter is the rule for immature stages in the genus. The following is a 
detailed description : — 
Testaceous, shining. Vertex of head brownish, face pale. Antenna*, except 
base, blackish. Pronotum black, margins all round broadly testaceous, laterally 
bordered very narrowly with blackish ; disk with an anterior arch, with about live 
streak-like spots and a posterior broader bai* with live tubercles in front. JMeso- 
notum blackish all round the pale disk, lateral margins whitish, slightly bordered 
with black laterally. Metanotum similar, not bordei’ed with black laterally. Legs 
pale, coxcB and b?vad femora with narro7V black lines ; tibim black. Abdomen pale, 
segments with narrowly black bases, posterior margins narrowly wliite, remainder 
finely dotted with brownish ; under side pale. Cerci black at the basal half, red 
at apical, acuminate ; styles pale.
