Sydney, New South Wales ; ten specimens (Coll. Macleay). I 

 am informed by Mr. Masters that this large and conspicuous 

 species was common in Sir William Macleay's garden twenty

 reason, and was not seen again there or elsewhere until quite 

 lately, when it has once more reappeared in the same locality.
