Agonochila binotata White. T cannot differentiate IVoiri one .•mother, speci- 

 mens of this species from New Zealand and Tasmania. 



There arc three exotic species, unknown to me in nature, which seem to re- 

 semble their nearest Australian congeners so closely that I believe there is a great 

 probability of their lieing identical; comjiarisons certainly rei|uire to ^\- made, as 

 indiiafi'd lielow, before their validity as sjiecies can be recognised as absolutely 

 settled.
