Amphichroum australe, Fvl. 



This species may be obtained in abundance from many species 

 of Banksia^ about Sydney. My specimens vary in length from 

 3 to 6J mm. 



Amphichroum spinipes, Fvl. 



A very variable species as regards both colour and size. It is 

 widely distributed in West Australia. 



Amphichroum AoELAiDiE, Blackb. 



I have five male and two female specimens from Tasmania 

 which agree very well with the description of this species. In 

 none of them is the breast dark, a character in itself suthcient 

 to distinguish the species from the males of M. Fauvel's three 

 species. In all of them the elytra are semitransparent, so that 

 from certain directions the folded wings can be easily distinguished. 



Eleusis planicollis, Macl. 



Specimens from the Tweed River, compared and agreeing with 

 the types of this species, agree exactly with the description of E. 

 australis, Fvl. 



E. PARVA, Blackb. Hab. — Tweed and Richmond Rivers, 



N.S.W. 



* The three species with which I am acquainted were all obtained from 

 species of Banksia
