-254 ON SOME RARE AUSTRALIAN GOMPHIN^. 



which the last three segments are yellowish. This condition is 



associated with tlie newly emerged insect and probably lasts for 



some time. 



10. AusTROGOMPHUS TuRNERi Martin. 



A single female, taken by Mr. H. Hacker, at Rocky, Cape 

 York Peninsula, was given to me in bad preservation. I 

 forwarded it to Mr. Martin for inspection. On its return from 

 Europe it was almost destroyed by Anthrenus. This would have 

 been the type-female of this species, only known from a single 

 male in Dr. Ris' collection; but it was too far gone to be of any 

 use. Now that the locality is known, fresh specimens should 

 soon be procurable. 



11. AUSTROGOMPHUS AUSTUALIS Selys. 



The only specimen of this, apparently rare, species known to 

 me is a male in the Macleay Museum, Sydney. Log. South 

 Australia, 



12. AUSTROGOMPHUS GouLDi Selys. 



Three males, in good condition, are in the National Museum 

 Collection, Melbourne. 



r 13. AUSTROGOMPHUS LATERALIS Selys. 



[14. A. occiDENTALis Tillyard. 

 The description of a portion of a specimen from N. Australia, 

 named A. lateralis by de Selys, apparently bears some points of 

 resemblance to my A. occideatalis. The de Selys specimen is a 

 female, with the abdomen entirely lacking ! It is in the British 

 Museum. It is quite possible the two species are very closely 

 allied; the difference of locality is so great that they can scarcely 

 be the same species.
