ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF N. S. WALES. vii 



Ml'. Ramsay exhibited specimens of both sexes of Gliaragia 

 Bamsayi (Scott), also two other species of the same genus. 



Mr. Hinds exhibited a Cocoon similar to that exhibited by 

 Mr. MacLeay at the last meeting of the Society ; it contained a 

 male Thynnus, and was found in the Wesleyan burial ground, 

 Sydney, but at what depth he was imable to say. 



7th JULY, 1862. 

 William MacLeay, Esq., President, in the Chair. 



Mr. Schrader read a continuation of his paper on the Gall- 

 making Coccidte of New South Wales. 



Mr. Hinds exhibited a male and female Coccus, apparently of 

 the genus Monophlehus (Leach.) The female, a large black 

 insect, he had found, and placed in a cage in an exposed position 

 in the hope of attracting a male, which, in a few days, he suc- 

 ceeded in doing. The male insect had reddish wings, and the 

 asbestos looking tuft at the tail was very large. 



Mr. Ramsay exhibited a specimen of the larva of the New 

 Zealand Gliaragia virescens (Taylor), and also sjDecimens of 

 another caterpillar which produces the plant called Spheeria. 

 He pointed out the evident difference between those two larvas. 



The President exhibited a number of new species belonging to 

 the families Cicindelidaa, Carabidas, Anoplcgnathida?, and Ceto- 

 niidae, which he had just received among a large collection of 

 insects from Port Denison. He also exhibited from the same 

 place a female Ornithoptera, measuring 8 inches across the wings, 

 which he said was quite distinct from any known species, but 

 approaching nearest to 0. Euphorion, of which species also the 

 male is unknown. 



The President also exhibited from the same locality specimens 

 of Nyctalemon Orontes, Papilio Agamemnon now for the first 

 time found in Australia, and Biadema Alimcna. The collection 

 of Port Denison Insects, the President informed the Society, had 

 been made by Mr. Masters, whom he introduced to the members, 

 he also introduced to them Mr. Darnel, who had just returned 

 from the Feegees, after a year spent in the collection of objects 

 of Natural History in these Islands.
