Q.,(Dodd) to Ourimbah, N. S.W.(Sloane)— New Caledonia. 



CoLPODES viOLACEUS Ciiaudoir. 



Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1859, p. 351; C. mucronatus Macleay, Proc. 

 Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales,(2) ii., 1887, p.218. 



I have seen specimens of Colpodes violaceus Chaud., from New 

 Guinea; and, on comparing them with C. nmcronatus Macl., from 

 North Queensland, could find no difference; therefore, I cannot 

 doubt but tliat Macleay's species is conspeci6c with Chaudoir's.
