So far as can be understood from the descriptions Kirkaldy bas 

 fiot redescribed this species in bis récent writings on tbe genus.

■ KiRivÂLDY bas proposed a new genus Enrinoscopus as « the Austra- 

 lian représentative of Buthoscopns » differing. it is said, by a slight 

 divergence in venation in the tigmena, but which he has neglected 

 to figure in bis otherwise somewbat fully illustrated paper. I can 

 certainly lind no structural différence in the species above described 

 from Germar's genus.
