I have examined the type of 0. jjy y mcezis ^Isicl., in the Macieny 

 Museum, and found it identical with the common Queensland 

 species, which I identify, from Chaudoir's description, as A. aus- 

 fra?asice Chaud. I found this species common about the edges of 

 sandy and stony pools that remained in the beds of the creeks 

 near Cooktown, Kuranda, and Townsville, in June, 1906; also, 

 once I took a specimen in the flood-waters of the Murray Rixer, 

 at Mulwala, N. 8.AV.

 supraorbital punctures above eyes, the posterior puncture bearing 

 a fully developed seta, the anterior puncture small (rudimentary) 

 and without a seta. Prothorax with a distinct round fovea on 

 each side a little distance from the basal margin, opposite
