134 REVISION OF SYiMPETES AND HEL^EUS, ETC. 



Stigmodera pallidipenyiis Blackb. — Since writing my notes 

 (These Proc, 1909, p. 121), Mr. Blackburn has shown me the 

 type of this species. It is quite distinct from S. rmistelamajor 

 Thorns. I was mi,sled by assuming the specimens in the Macleay 

 Museum to be correctly named. 



Espites hasalis Pasc. — I have received two specimens of this 

 beautiful insect from Cape York; and have also seen specimens 

 collected by Mr. Hacker, while Mr. Lea has since sent me a 

 specimen for identification, also from the same region. It was 

 described from New Guinea, and has hitherto not been recorded 

 as an Australian species. 



Cardiothorax pygmceus Carter. — I found this species fairly 

 common on the hills near Twofold Bay during a short stay in 

 January last. Fre.sh specimens are darker in general colour than 

 the Macleay Museum types, but tliis colour is relieved by the 

 raised golden interstices of the elytra near the humeral margins, 

 this gold or coppery sheen decreasing towards the middle of the 

 disc. Larger female specimens are nearly as large as specimens 

 of G. australis Carter, but it may be readily distinguished by the 

 more abrupt and distinct dentation of the bind angles of the 

 prothorax.
