September 28tlij 1904. 1) Monograph of the Australian Cicadiclae. By 

 F. W. Goding, M. & Ph. D., and W. W. Froggatt, F.L.S., Government 

 Entomologist. Descriptions of all the Cieadidae attributed to Australia, 

 amounting to 115 species, comprised in 21 genera, are given. A few of 

 this number are not represented in Aiistralian collections, and examples of 

 them have yet to be seen by the authors; otherwise, by the cordial coopera- 

 tion of entomologist in the different States, very large series of specimens 

 have been examined during the preparation of the paper. In connection 

 with the geographical distribution of the species it may be mentioned that 

 though many are strictly confined to the coastal forests of Eastern Australia, 

 others are found sporadically over a very large area, reappearing in widely 

 separated districts if the suitable class of country presents itself. For 

 example, Ttbicen ivillsi, Dist., described from Rockhampton, ranges up the 

 Queensland Coast to Townsville, occurs also at Bourke, N.S.W., and reap- 

 pears at Kings Sound, N.W.A. Indo-Malayan affinity is indicated by the 

 occurrence of the genera Gaeana and Huechys. 2) Notes on Neuroptera^ with 

 Descriptions of New Species. By Walter W. Frogatt, F.L.S. Two species 

 of OUgotoma (Fam. Emhiidae) and a species of Croce (Fam. Nemopteridae) 

 are described as new. The family Emhiidae^ which has proved so trouble- 

 some to entomologists in respect of its affinity, has not hitherto been recorded 

 from Australia. The representatives of the species now described were 

 taken, in one case at a lamp in Sydney, and in the other vmder stonc-à at 

 Bomen, near Wagga, X.S.W. The family Nemopteridae has hitherto had as 

 its only known Australian representative, Chasmoptera hutti^ described by 

 Westwood in 1847, from Guildford, W.A. The type specimen of the addi- 

 tional species now recorded was obtained at Pajingo Station, Charters To- 

 wers, N.Q.
