NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN AQUATIC HEMIPTERA — SKU8E. 45 



H. whiteleggei ; but having mutually examined specimens of 

 each, we have ascertained that //. rec/alis is constantly much 

 the larger insect in both sexes, and that there exist characters 

 in tlie front tarsi and male genital organs which prove that Mr. 

 Carpenter's species is sufficiently distinct to deserve a ditierent 

 name. 



Family Limnobatid^. 



Genus Limnobates, Burin. 



Limnohates strigosa, sp. n. 

 Apparently of wide range.

Cyiia, Solier. 



The form figured (pi. xi. figs. 5 - 10) represents a new species of 

 Cyria o'iginally proposed to have been described in the present 

 paper, but recently named by the Rev. T. Blackburn (Trans. 

 Roy. Soc. S. Aust. xv. i. p. 41, I 892) as C. tridens, from a specimen 

 received from this Museum. The series of about a dozen examples 

 was originally obtained by the author from Mr. W. Smart, of 

 Manly, who procured them from an amateur collector on the 

 Richmond River, N.S.W, By some mistake Mr. Blackburn also 

 fails to mention the locality or source from which he received the 

 specimen from which his description was derived. Fig. 4 represents 

 C. imperialis, Don., in contrast with the present insect.
