Introduction

The identities of the five species of Euronotobrachys need to be determined by examination of the type material. Kirkaldy (1906) simply listed the species from "Queensland" but the material described in his two works of 1906 and 1907 was collected between June 1904 and March 1905 from a small number of localities in North Queensland as well as from Sydney, Parramatta and Mittagong in New South Wales (see Day & Fletcher 1994). It is therefore most likely that the type material of this species was collected somewhere in the greater Cairns region of coastal North Queensland.

Larger than E. arcuata, the vertex wider (more than three times as wide as long) and less arched. Frons not so angular laterally, about as wide as long, with a rounded carina. Tegmina rounded apically. Length: 10.5 mm. (Kirkaldy 1906)
