 Hewitson {J,.c.). 



This species is represented in Australia by a single pair in the 

 Miskin collection from Cape York. They agree with Hewitson's 

 figures, which Kirby sinks under D. epi'ni.>>. The male from Cape 

 York has no secondary sexual characters, but I have not been 

 able to give it a critical examination to absolutely decide its 

 presence in this genus. The shape is as in D. diovis.
