One ^; I took two males also in Ebor, outside the scrub. 

 This species has been confused with X. subidaria Gn.; the $ is 

 very similar, but the 9 widely unlike. I am indebted to Mr. L. 

 B. Prout for examining Walker's types. It is a very abundant 

 and widely distributed species, recorded from N.Q.: Atherton, 

 Herberton, Townsville— Q.: Eidsvold, Gayndah, Brisbane, Strad- 

 broke Island, Mt. Tambourine, Coolangatta, Toowoomba, Nan- 

 ango, Killarney — N.S.W.: Murwillumbah, Glen Tnnes, Sydney —
