specimens in my possession with the description of C. australis 

 Chaud., feel no doubt of the identity of these species. Philo- 

 phloeus dubius MacL, is certainly congeneric with C. eleganiula 

 Schmidt-Goebel, from Burma, to which it is closely allied.

CoPTODERA MASTERSi Macleay. 



Eucalyptocola mastersi. Trans. Ent. Soc. N. S. Wales, ii. 1871, 

 p.91. 



This species is known to me, and is congeneric with C. australis 

 Chaud. Macleay was in error in describing his genus Eucalynto- 

 cola as having the mentum with a "large acute median tooth." 

 I have dissected the mouth-parts of Eucalyptocola mastersi MacL, 

 and found the mentum with the sinus edentate. C. mastersi 

 must be very near Coptodera {Rhi^iocheila) levrati Perroud, from 

 New Caledonia.

Coptodera marcida Blackburn. 



Eucalyptocola marcida Trans. Roy. Soc. South Aust. 1903, 

 p.91. 



This species is unknown to me in nature. I have placed it in 

 the table above by the aid of the description, which leaves us in 

 some doubt as to whether it is actually congeneric with C. 

 australis Chaud., or not.
