way to the British Museum, and is there labelled A. Eucalypti. 

 Mr. Illidge distributed his find to the Museum and toothers. Mr. 

 Barnard and his sons at Duaringa also found this fine species 

 feeding on Loranthus. It is thus necessarily a gregarious species, 

 and in its habits, character, and in fact in all points differs from 

 A. Eucalypti. It comes near to A. Banksii, Leach, or A. Helence, 

 Scott. 



A. intermedia, Luc, may be a climatic variety of A. Helence, 

 but it is not nearly so large nor leathery as the Newcastle type.
