sHo-ht odour like that of old straw, and in another a faint flowery odour 

 on detaching scales from the fold on the underside of the hindwing. 

 Chaiiapci (EwpJoea) corivna McLeay was also locally abundant; two 

 males, one of which extruded yellow tufts, were tried for scent with a 

 negative result. Satyrids were conspicuous by their absence, but a 

 specimen of Yphthima arctous Fabr. was secured. Perhaps the most 

 striking insect seen was Ewrycus cressida Fabr. This was fairly 

 common, not constantly visible like the Danaines, but every now and 

 then attracting attention by its slow flight from tree to tree. A speci- 

 men of the male sex was noted as having a distinct acrid smell. No 

 odour was detected in a worn and rather ragged example of the 

 female. Teria^ iineata Misk. was abundant, T. hecabe Linn, quite 

 common. Two males of the latter both showed the wet-season colora- 

 tion. Other captures in the scrub near Townsville were Evmecoptis 

 armata Fabr., a quietly-coloured but very handsome Hemipteron ; and 

 a reddish-grey immature grasshopper, at present undetermined. 



On the following day (Sept. 7th) I crossed over to Magnetic 

 Island, which lies north-east of Townsville, in Halifax Bay. Here 

 again the roughness of the ground and the character of the under- 

 growth made collecting difficult, and the number of insects caught 

 bore a somewhat slender proportion to the number of those seen.

ANDBENA TRIMMER AN A K., AND ITS ALLIES. 



BY R. C. I.. PERKINS, M.A., D.Sc. 



In this Magazine, 1913, pp. 10, 11, 1 gave a table of the characters of 

 the races of Andrena rosae Panz., as distinguished by Herr J. D. Alf ken, 

 and also an account of the variation exhibited by some of these forms 

 in this country. 



Further study has convinced me that our three forms (two of 

 which are seasonally dinioi-phic) are specifically distinct and more than 

 mere races, and may be separated as follows.* 



Males. 



1 (4) Face beneath the antennae, and sometimes the whole face, clothed 



with black or sooty hairs, the cheeks always with a long spine. 



2 (3) Mandibles simple, very long and falcate, without a definite ante- 



apical tooth spinigera K. 



* Stylopized e.xainples are not considered in this Table.
