that Sc appears to lie nearer to posterior than to costal border 

 of wing. A distinct darkened pterostigma on all wings, that of 

 fore wing lying above the end of 8c, but not reaching the costal 

 margin. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen dark brown: antenna^ and legs 

 paler brown Forewiug dark brown, richly irrorated with black- 

 ish-brown, irregular, transverse stripes and patches; lunulas 

 three, small; fenestella present, but indistinct; a large triangular 

 area proximad from the lunules, and a smaller blotch between R 

 and Cu, at aVjout one-third of the wing-length from the base, dull 

 blackish-brown; within the latter area is a tiny white spot on M. 

 Hindwing tinged with pale brown, with a darker clouding along 

 both costal and posterior margins, and upon the gradate veins. 



Type in Coll. 8outh Australian Museum, Adelaide. 



A second specimen, obviously belonging to this species, lacks 

 the two dark areas on the forewing, but possesses instead a longi- 

 tudinal line of blackish-brown, running about midway through 

 the forewing, from base to just below apex. I propose to name 

 this var. lineata. It corresponds with the well known var. longi- 

 tudinalis Tillyard, of D. humilis McLach. This specimen is in 

 Coll. Tillyard. 



5. MiCROMUS TASMANIA Walker. 



Six specimens of this common Australian lacewing occur in 

 the collection, from Norfolk Island. It is quite possible that 

 they might have been introduced as eggs or larvge on Citrus-trees 

 or roses. The species also occurs in iSew Zealand. 



6. Carobius pulchellus Banks. 



A single, beautifully marked, but somewhat damaged, speci- 

 men of this very rare insect, from Noifolk Island. Only two or 

 three specimens of this insect are known, from S. Queensland.

 (As the specimens are much faded and shrunken, neither the 

 form of the prothorax nor the colour of the veins can be used as 

 a reliable character).
