T. tnorbiUosus Boisd. — iVIacleay was mistaken in his identifica- 

 tion of this insect, the one redescribed by him having no affinity 

 to the true 2\ morbillotiiis Boisd. 



T. costatus lioisd.— Previously described by W. 8. Macleay as 

 F. Kirbyi. The species must, therefore, bear the name of Talau- 

 rinus Kirbyi W. S. Macleay. T. Mastersi Macl., is also synony- 

 mous. 



T. bucpphalns Oliv. — A common New South Wales species, 

 with somewhat extensive synonym3^ 



Scl. carinatns Boisd. — Probably synonymous with Hipporrhi- 

 nus tiigro-tipiiiosKs Donov., to judge from the figure in Donovan's 

 Epitom. Ins. N. Holl.1805. 



Scl. bubalus Oliv., = Scl. morosus Boisd. — The identity of these 

 two species is evident from a comparison of Olivier's figure with 

 Boisduval's type. The name ??io/'o.sv/.s- Boisd., has long been in 

 use for a species of Cnbicorrhynchus, not only among Australian 

 entomologists, but by Bohemann, Germar, Pascoe and others. 

 Scl. biibahis has priority. 



Scl. fi'istis Boisd. — A common Tasmanian a7id Australian 

 species, with extensive synonymy. 



Scl. dolens Boisd. — Unknown to me. 



Ac. echinatus Boisd. — The type, while agreeing with the 

 description of Ac. echinatus Guer., differs in the dimensions. 

 Guerin's species was described from Port Jackson, where a species 

 commonlv identified as ^c. echinatus Guer., but differing from .4c. 

 echinatus Boisd , is found. Pending investigation of Guerin's 

 species, I have not described Boisduval's type, particularly as Ac. 

 mucronatus Macl., is founded on the same species. 



Amycterus Boisduvali Boisd. — I have not seen the type of this 

 species, nor of those of the " Euomides " described by Boisduval, 

 but they are all well known species. Of the two species, — 

 granosxis Guer., and — posticus Boisd., which are unknown to 

 me, the former is probably a species of Talaurinus, and perhaps 

 T. bucephalus Oliv.; it is from Port Jackson; posticus is placed 

 in Masters' Catalogue in Psalidura, but from description it 

 should not belong to that geims, and lam (juite unable to place it.
