The following notes indicate my views with regard to the 

 species described from Australia. 



1. MoRio LONGiPENNis, Putzeys. 



Ann. Mus. Civ. Genov. vii. p. 727 (1875); Chaudoir, Bull. Mosc. 

 iv. p. 337(1880). 



Putzeys gives the size as 12-19 x 3'3-5-5, Chaudoir as 10-13 x 3- 

 3-5; my specimens (4) measure 13-5-15 x 4-1-4-4: mm. 



Hah. — New Guinea : Fly River, Andai, Sorong, Katau, Ramou 

 — Arou Islands (Beccari and D'Albertis, fide Putzeys and 

 Chaudoir) — Queensland: Somerset and Mount Ernest {fide 

 Chaudoir), Cairns (H. W. Brown; Coll. Sloane). 



2. MoRio AUSTRALis, Castelnau. 



Trans. Roy. Soc. Vict. viii. p. 122 (1868); Chaudoir, I.e., p. 359. 



Clypeus not furrowed ; prothorax cordiform, sides decidedly 

 rounded on anterior four-fifths, strongly narrowed and ^inuate to 

 base; elytra with basal border hardly dentate at humeral angles. 

 Length 13-16 x 3-9-5 mm. 



Hah.—^.^.W. : Lily vale, 29 miles S. from Sydney (Taylor), 

 Mittagong (Coates), Goulburn (Sloane). 



3. MoRio vicTORiiE, Castelnau, I.e., p. 122. 



Resembling M. australis, Casteln., but prothorax less sinuate 

 on posterior part of sides, anterior angles less marked (widely 

 rounded). Length 14-5x4-5 mm. 



Hab. — Victoria (fide Castelnau) — N.S.W. : Mount Kosciusko

I have compared my specimen with the type in the Howitt 

 Collection, Melbourne. 



4. MoRio LONGicoLLis, Macleay. 



Trans. Ent. Soc. N.S.W. ii. p. 95 (1871). 



Differs from M. australis, Casteln., by clypeus with five longitu- 

 dinal furrows, the middle one deep and straight, the ones on each 

 side of it oblique ; front less convex between the frontal
