widened posterior tibiae." This is, I consider, only sexual, and 

 a male character. The distinction of 0. Pascoei Bates, from 0. 

 tenuitarsis is very doubtful, depending on slight differences noted 

 in the brief diagnosis of the former(Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1873, 

 p. 358). Mr. Blair notes that Pascoe's type appears to be an 

 immature specimen, thus increasing the probability of the 

 synonymy. The two species described as Decialma by Macleay, 

 are evidently slight colour-varieties of the same species. I have 

 examined the types. They do not belong to this genus, and will 

 be found under C7mrio^eca(Cnodalonin9e),

Synonymy. — H. metallicus Macl. = H. grandis Westw. = H. 

 {Tetraphyllus) Reaumuri Casteln. The descriptions are almost 

 identical, and Castelnau's name has the priority. H. metallicus 

 is evidently the male, and grandis the female of the same species. 

 I have examined a considerable number of specimens; and Mr. 

 Blair has examined the types, and confirms my conclusions. 

 Tetraphyllus sumptuosus Hope, is almost certainly = Espites 

 basalis Pasc. Unfortunately its type appears to have been lost. 

 Professor Poulton has made a search amongst the Hope Collec- 

 tion in vain for it. The genus Tetraphyllus thus disappears from 

 the Australian lists, and is apparently only from Madagascar.
