I think there is no doubt but that No. 2971 of the Simson Coll. is S. inter- 

 medins Blac'kl)., hut I eannot differentiate it from .S'. sigillatus Germ.

 Lea); Iving Is. (Lea). 



I have in my collection a specimen of ,S'. flavipes Blackb., sent to me under 

 that name by Mr. Blackburn, and a cotype of .S'. lineatus Lea, received from Mr. 

 Lea. also several specimens from near Melbourne. With these materials before 

 me I cannol diflVrentiatc S'. flarijies iind N. IhieiitKs. therefore have felt compelled 

 to unite them. 



ScOPODES ATERBiMU.s Chaudoir. 



(== S. sydneyensis Sloane.) 

 Specimens which I obtained at Albany are the same as my 6' sydneyensis; 

 other specimens which I took in South-western Australia are the form with the 

 head more rug-ulose, which I considered ,s'. aterrimus in 1903: one of these speci- 

 mens measures 5.5 mm. in leni;th. Witli the data now availahle 1 consider one 

 name sufficient for the species.
