Confined to Australia; it is not improbable that all the species- 

 are attached to various forms of Acacia. The genus is easy of recog- 

 nition; but the specie.s, though all of rather large size, ai-e difficult 

 and puzzling, and require very close attention. When writing 

 my former paper, I was unfortunately not sufficiently alive to 

 this difficulty, and therefore identified some of Walker's species 

 wrongly; but I think the synonymy as now given after careful 

 examination of his types will be found correct.
