Besides those mentioned in my first paper (' Entomologist,* 

 1917, p. 34), I have seen a ? in the British Museum which 

 extends its range to German {olim !) East Africa, where S. A. 

 Neave found it at *' Vy.," on the Ruaha Eiver, during mid- 

 December, 1910. It is entirely typical.

This species is not a true Stephanus, as supposed by 

 Schletterer, and consequently Cameron's name stands. In 

 Fred. Smith's collection is a ? captured by Bates " on the 

 Amazon" in the middle of last century, though the species was 

 not described till 1887, and then from no nearer than Panama.

Enderlein has described ('Arch. f. Naturgeschichte,' Ixvii^ 

 1901, p. 196) a species from Malaysia, which he supposed 

 synonymous with that of Prof. West wood ; but this is not the 

 case. The latter is from " Australia," and in the British 

 Museum is a single ? agreeing therewith in every respect ; 

 but the neuration — hardly touched upon by its author — places 

 the species in Hemistephanus, while Enderlein's is a true 

 Stephanus. Swan River, in Western Australia, taken long 

 ago, probably by Boulay.

This is by far the commonest species of StephanidaB in 

 Eastern Australia ; numerous examples of both sexes were 

 captured about Mackay in Queensland in November, December, 

 March, and April by Turner ; French found it in Victoria during 

 September, 1901 ; and two others are from Swan River in 

 Western Australia. The $ has not before been noticed, but 

 differs very slightly from the ^ in having the terebra as long, 

 sometimes slightly longer, than the body ; both sexes are a-
