18 MUTILL#A OF NEW HOLLAND. 
Holland,” and in the collection of the Rev. F. W. Hope, from 
Western Australia. 
Obs.—This species is very closely allied to M. formicaria, but is at once distinguished by 
the structure of the thorax and sculpture of the body. 
Species I1.— Mutilla ferruginata, Westw. (Plate 54, fig. 4.) M. ferruginea punctata, 
capite cinerascenti-hirto, abdomine maculis tribus e pilis fulvis in medio marginis postici 
segmentorum Imi, 2di et ultimi; antennis pedibusque nigris, tarsis piceis, thorace ovali 
anticé truncato, dorso punctis regularibus rotundatis; lateribus haud tuberculatis 5 seg- 
mento 2do abdominis magno in medio longitudinaliter impresso; dorso punctis oblongis 
impresso. 9. Long. corp. lin. 7. 
In the collection of John Curtis, Esq., F.L.S., &c., from New 
Holland.

Syn.—WM. aurata Fabricius, Ent. Syst. 2, 368. Syst. Piez. p. 430. 
Deseribed as a native of New Holland, by Fabricius, from the 
Banksian Collection. I have not, however, been able to discover 
the species in the cabinets of the Linnzean Society. 
Species V.— Muitilla ruficornis. M. nigra, antennis rufis, ano pilis albidis tecto, alisatris. ¢. 
Syn.—WM. ruficornis Fabricius, Ent. Syst. 2,369. Syst. Piez. p. 431. 
Also described by Fabricius as a native of New Holland, from 
the same collection as the last, but I have not been able to find 
it there. 
Srecires V1.—Mutilla Australasie. M. hirta nigra antennis rufis thoraceque hirto obscure 
rufo, abdomine ovato nigro segmentis 1, 2, ultimoque margine ciliato aibis, pedibus rufis.

Seecies VII.—Mutilla dorsigera, Westw. (Plate 53, fig. 4.) M. nigra, parum hirta 
obscura, tenue at valde punctata, antennis pedibus, mandibulis basi dorsoque collaris et

corp. lin. 43. 
Habitat in Terra Van Diemenii. D. Lewis. In Mus. Westw. 
I can scarcely think this to be identical with the M. Austra- 
lasize, although it is closely allied to that species. 
Species VIII.—Mutilla affinis, Westw. (Plate 54, fig. 2.) M. brevis robusta nigra 
hirta punctata, thorace postice obscure ferrugineo, abdomine segmentis 1 et 2 pilisque

oblongo-punctatis, abdomine breve-ovali tenuissime punctato. 9. Long. corp. lin. 43. 
Habitat in Nova Hollandia. In Mus. Brit. No. 550. 
Allied to M. dorsigera, but much more robust in proportion to 
its size, and more obscurely coloured. 
Srecivs 1X.—Mutilla lateralis. Westw. (Plate 54, fig. 3.) M. nigra subopaca punctata, 
antennis mandibulisque nigris, pedibus rufis, abdominis segmento basali supra, 2di late-
