4 A MONOGRAPH OF THE AUSTRALIAN M KM BR ACID ^K, 



Hutton, Christchurch, N.Z., I am indebted for information as to 

 the Memhvacidce not having been found in that Colony. 



In ^vorking out the identity of the described Australian species, 

 great difficulty was experienced, owing to the meagreness and 

 indefiniteness of the published descriptions of Walker and Fair- 

 maire. Stal experienced the same trouble, and practically refused 

 to recognise Walker's work. However, in this I believe him to 

 have erred. Where a species can be identified from the descrip- 

 tion, illustration, or type, I always recognise it; hence I believe 

 that the synonymy as given in the following pages is correct. 



When sufficient material shall have been collected to form a 

 complete duplicate series, my types of the Australian forms will 

 be deposited in some Museum in this Commonwealth for the 

 benefit of students. 



Species preceded by an asterisk [*) are in my collection.
