686 REVISION OF THE GENUS PAROPSIS, 



being absent. It is, however, very much smaller, with the pro- 

 thorax very much less closely and more finely punctured. 

 N. 8. Wales; sent to me by Mr. Lea. 



P. STRIGOSA, Chp. 



I have an example named as this species from Dr. Chapuis' 

 collection, and there is also before me an example belonging to 

 Mr. Lea which I cannot distinguish from it. Chapuis' locality is 

 " Parao River," Mr. Lea's " Swan River." It is, of course, pos- 

 sible that the species is found in these two very distant localities, 

 but I think it more probal^le either that Dr. Chapuis' locality is 

 wrong, or my example is not really conspecific with the t^'pe but 

 represents a closely allied species.
