Western Australia, and conunon also in Queensland. Of this sec-tion 

 of the genus, Victoria possesses 7 si)ecies. 



2\ Rirerinae, Macl.. enjoys a wide range from the Riverina in 

 New South Wales, through the north of Victoria to Port Lincoln 

 in South Australia; it is common in the Mallee country in Victoria, 

 and probably occuis througliout the country north of the Dividing 

 Range. 



T. fomefitosii.^ Boisd. occurs along the southern sea-board, from 

 South Australia to Wilson's Promontory; I have also seen it from 

 King Is. 



1\ penicilldfiis Macl. is tlie Tasmanian representative of T. 

 tomentosus. and is lather doubtfully distinct. I have a spec-imen 

 labelled as Victorian. 



T. fenehrirosiis Ferg. occurs chiefly in the southern portion of 

 the State; it is common about Melbourne, and I have specimens 

 from Benalla. 



T. Hoivitfi Macl. also occurs in the neighbourhood of Melbourne. 



T. simpliciiJfs Lea was described from South Australia, but is 

 common in western Victoria and as far east as Melbourne. 



Of the tuberculate section 8 species occur in Victoria. 



T. tuherculatiis Macl. occurs in the vicinity of Melbourne. T. 

 fi//sfri.r. a closely allied species, is herein described as new from 

 Portland. 



T. t>/picus Macl., or a new species closely allied to typicus, 1 

 have seen from Benalla. 



T. acutipennJs Fei-g., a closely allied species, occurs at Mel- 

 bourne and Mt. Macedon. 



T. //itlanr/iolio/s Lea is also from Mt. Macedon. 



The distribution of these species is interesting, as in almost all 

 the cases they aie nearly allied to New South Wales foim not 

 recorded from the intervening country. Thus 2\ tuhercidatus and 

 T. Ju/xtrij- find their nearest allies in T. fernico-sus, from central 

 eastern X.S. Wales, and 2\ halmnfurinuK from Kangaroo Island; 

 and furthermore the Kangaroo Island species is more nearly allied 

 to the NeAv South Wales species than it is to the Victorian. T. 

 neufipeniiis is most nearly allied to T . fy picas, but, as noted above, 

 this species, or one very closely related to it, comes as far south 

 as Benalla. T. inelauchol'tcKH is related to T. fur tier i from Mt. 

 Kosciusko. 



7\ a/if/iisftis Ferg. rnu/ T. perpJerux, n.sp., are two closely related 

 fui-ins allietl to the hucephalus grouj). T. (ingustus occurs at Mt.
