ScHGüTEDEN (Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. LI, p. 109, 1907), has given the A. pardaliiuis 

 Stal., an Australian species as a synonym of P. rryi Montr. This however is incorrect. 

 The species from New Caledonia, above, is distinctly more, and somewhat strongly, 

 rugose with the punctures iarger and deeper, the colour is also darker and more casta- 

 neous, while the AustraHan species is as Stal described it "Sordide testaceo 

 flavescens, supra distincte et minus dense" nigro-punctatus. There is a long 

 series of Stäl's species in the British Museum including specimens from Queensland, 

 Aru, and Murray Island.
