1. Baryconus amabilis Dodd, Memoirs of Queensland 
Museum, Vol. II, 1913, p. 336. 
I have recently melted the type of this species from the slide 
on which it was mounted, and hence have been able to better 
examine it. The species agress structurally with splendidus Dodd, 
but differs somewhat in color. The reddish coloration is deeper 
in amabilis, in splendidus the scutum and scutellum are uniformly 
reddish, in amabilis there is a dusky area on each side of median 
line of scutum cephalad, the sides of the scutum are dusky, and the 
scutellum more or less. 
The type was remounted on a tag.
