Ipo pellucida.

The type of pellucida Fabr., is in the Banksian collection of the 

 British Muséum which also possesses six spécimens which judging 

 from Kirkaldy's dimensions and short description of his species, 

 clearly also apply to /. amhita. It is a species variable in colour and 

 markings; the scutellum is sometimes « pale castaneous » bul in 

 most of the spécimens before me it has its disk piceous, while its 

 apex is in any case distinctly pale tlavescent; a large dark spot is 

 usually found in each basai angle; the pronotum also varies in 

 différent spécimens from testaceous to piceous; in several examples 

 there is a distinct whitish longitudinal Une to vertex and pro- 

 notum. 



Ipo conferta. 



Ipo conferta Kirk., Rep. Exp. Stat. Ilaw Plant. Assoc, Pt. IX, 

 p. 465, PI. XXII, fig. 10-11 (1906). 

 Hab. Queensland (E.-P. Dodd — Brit. Mus). 



It is very difficult to identifythis species with certitude. In his des- 

 cription Kirkaldy writes « smaller than the type » and gives the 

 Length as « 6 1/4 mill. »; But by the side of his enlarged figure is 

 given a dimensional Une which measures 9 mill, Five spécimens from 

 Queensland now before me measure 6 to 6 1/4 mill. It would seem 

 from his descriptions and dimensions that Kirkaldy, as I. conferta 

 has probably given the figure of his /. ambita = pellucida Fabr.
