Introduction

The identities of the five species of Euronotobrachys need to be determined through examination of the type material. This species is based on at least three specimens from Queensland, two of which were collected in the wet tropics of North Queensland. It is presumed that the material listed by Distant (1906) from "Queensland" also came from this area but an examination of the type specimens, in conjunction with other material in collections, will give a better understanding of the species' distribution. Reference by Distant (1906) to the apex of the abdomen bearing "a white waxy secretion" indicates that Distant's material may have been female.

Diagnosis

Head, pro- and mesonota, face, clypeus, sternum and legs fuscous brown with paler macular mottlings; abdomen sanguineous, its apex with a white waxy secretion; bases of posterior tibiae ochraceous; tegmina with the basal half greenish ochraceous, at extreme base there are two large costal spots, a central spot and the claval area black, apical half fuscous, with a large triangular costal spot near apex and a large subapical marginal spot pale hyaline, extreme apical margin piceous; wings piceous; tegmina with the costal margin strongly sinuate before apex, the apical margin very strongly concavely sinuate; face coarsely reticulately granulose and slightly greyishly pubescent; pronotum with some scattered granules; its posterior margin sinuate; mesonotum with the central carination almost obsolete, the space between the carinations piceous. Long., excl. tegm., 5.5 mm; exp. tegm. 18.5 mm. (Distant 1906)
