Supplementary Note. — After the description of Cupes varians 

 (p. 485) left my hands I had the opportunity of seeing three other 

 specimens — one from Wentworth Falls (N.S.W.) in the collection 

 of Mr. A. Simson; one, without locality, presented to me by Mr. 

 French; and one quite recently taken at Sheffield, in Tasmania, 

 by Mr. G. M. Griffith and given to his brother, Mr. H. H. D. 

 Griffith. The Tasmanian specimen measures 12 mm. in length, 

 and each of the scales on the head, pro thorax and antennae is 

 distinctly traceable; the margins of the prothorax are slightly 

 waved posteriorly and distinctly emarginate on each side of the 

 anterior tooth (the sculpture of the prothorax is probably the 

 same in the other specimens but obscured by the clothing); its 

 antennse extend back to slightly beyond the middle of the elytra, 

 and the terminal joint is slightly longer than the third. On both 

 it and the specimen from Mr. French dark scales on the elytra 

 are disposed in stripes on the alternate interstices, four dark 

 stripes being on the second and two on the fourth before their 

 i unction near the apex {Feh. 10th, 1902).
