belongs to the same jiroup,'' but the pale piilx'sceiiee of the prothorax bounds 

 three sharply defined dark spots, and the pygidiuiii is differenth' shaped ; from 

 the form of M. nigrans, with somewhat similar prothoracic markings, it is distinct 

 by the pygidium. its narrow i)ortion being only about half as long as on that 

 species.

A specimen labelled "Johnstone Riv.," in Miskin's writing, is a male of 

 this species ; remarkable for its wide tlat head, and conspicuous jaws. The 

 Queensland locality, however, needs confirmation, as the species is a well-known 

 Javanese insect.

PSEUDOLYCUS HEMORRHOID ALIS Fab., var. MARtJINATUS Gvier. 



Form '). — Three specimens from the Queensland National Park differ from 

 the preceding four forms of this variety in having the sides of the prothorax 

 entirely pale, the dark discal portion is wider at the base than the apex, and 

 the elytra are blackish for a short distance from the base — near the suture on 

 two of them there is a pale spot on each side of the bass of the head. 



MORPHOLYCUS COSTIPENNIS Lea. 



A female of this species, from the Queensland National Park, has the red 

 of the prothorax reduced to «t small spot on each side of the base. 



COPIDITA MARITIMA Lea. 



A specimen, from Bribie Island, and another, from Stradbroke Island, 

 have similar elytra to those of a specimen commented upon as in Mr. Carter's 

 collection, except tliat there is a slight infuscation on each side of the scutellum ; 

 on the Bribie Island one the dark prothoracic markings are conjoined, on the 

 other they are not conjoined across the middle. Another, from Bribie Island 

 (a small male), has the cephalic spot larger than usual, and the derm of both 

 scutellum and elytra entirely black. 



COPIDITA TENUICOLLIS sp. nov. 



$ Flavous ; three irregular lines on prothorax, elytra (except suture and 

 extreme sides), knees, parts of tarsi and two apical joints of antenna?, black or 

 infuscated. Densely clothed with short, ashen pubescence. 



Head rather long, gently convex between eyes, with rather dense and 

 sharply defined punctures, becoming crowded at base, and smaller in front ; 

 jaws notched at apex. Eyes large and coarsely faceted. Antennae long and thin, 

 most of the joints cylindrical, eleventh semi-double. Prothorax much longer than 

 wide, sides slightly dilated near apex, base narrowly margined ; punctures
