Onosterrhios. — No Australian collection had, to my knowledge, 

 an identified specimen of this genus. I was therefore glad to be 

 able to determine two species of my own, by comparison with 

 Bates' types. Its form is in general that of a small Ilypocilihe; 

 for structural differences see Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1872, p. 277. 



AiiijyJiianaa; subcoriaceus Bates. — A smaller and narrower form, 

 near Agasthenes, with the prothorax contracting in front. 



Nyctozoilus DeyroUei Bsit^^. — The author was unable to give 

 a more definite habitat than Australia. I have a specimen given 

 me by Mr. R. Helms, from Fern Hills, Victoria, which corres- 

 ponds to the type. 



Fed iris (Up is) sulciger Boisd. — I have a specimen of this, taken 

 by Mr. Hacker, in the Coen district, Cape York. This is the 

 first record of its capture in Australia, though it appears to be 

 common in New Guinea. Boisduval's locality is Amboyna. 



Menephilus cycmipennis Hope, is probably a large specimen of 

 N. coerulescens Haag-Rut. Hope's type measures 1 2 mm. long, 

 but seems otherwise ideatical, though unfortunately I had no 

 specimens of N. cverulescens at hand in my Oxford visit. 



Menepliilus convexmsculus Hope, is probably identical with 

 Meneristes servuhts Pasc. 



Lepispilus stygianus Pasc. — After a close examination of the 

 type (in a bad condition) I see no reason for altering my opinion 

 as to the distinction of this species from L. sulclcollis Boisd., as 

 expressed (these Proceedings, 1906, p. 258). I took nine speci- 

 mens of this species in the Victorian Alps, in January, 1909, 

 identical with the Kosciusko insect and equally differentiated 

 from L. sulcicollis. 



Cardiotliorax. — An examination of Bates' types has confirmed 

 my opinion as to the synonymy of C. fraternalis Bates, C. pithe- 

 cius Pasc, C. errans Pasc, and G. valgipes Bates (these Pioceed- 

 ings, 1906, p.237). 



G. hrevicollis Haag-Rut. — A specimen in Bates' Coll., labelled 

 " Compared with type by Dr. Rogenhofer" is quite black, without 

 hind angles to the prothorax, and is not the species so named in 

 the Macleay Museum, as noted in my paper [supra).
