to be in agreement with them. An examination of a good series indicates that 

 Shelford's" opinion that Tepper's species is but a colour-variety of C. bicolor Sauss. 

 cannot be supported, for, in addition to the differences in colour, the pronotum of 

 C suhzonata Tepper is considerably wider in proportion to its length, there is no sitine 

 at the posterior-lateral angles of the supra-anal lamina of the o, and the rugosity of 

 its abdominal tergites is much finer, in fact only a shagreening. The average 



pronotal measurements of 10 adult specimens of each sjDecies was found to be 



C. bicolor Sauss., 10-3 X 7-1 mm.; C. suhzonata Tepper, 10-3 X 61 mm. I think 

 Tepper's species is a good one, and should stand. My specimens of C. bicolor Sauss. 

 are from the Burdekin district, N.Q. ; and I have not found it in the Brisbane 

 district.

Habitat. — Brisbane District, Q., in the following localities : — Birkdale, Ormiston,

Kirby does not state the sex of the type which is in the British Museum, 

 but the addition to Kirby's description by Shelford in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1909, 

 p. 306, indicates that it is a (J. As I have examined several sjjecimens of the ,^, and 

 recently captured examples of both sexes at Tambourine Mountain, S. Queensland, 

 a few descriptive notes of the $ may be added. The sinuation of the outer margin 

 of the tegmen of the ^ is more apparent than real, the appearance being produced 

 bj' a sharp deflection of the marginal area.

 tion when viewed dorsally being scarcely apparent ; wings squamiform, supra-anal 

 lamina trigonal, subtectiform, castaneous towards the margins, apex truncate, 

 sinuately emarginate, lateral margins not serrate, everted, terminating in a spine ; 

 cerci of about the same length as the lamina. Subgenital lamina valvular. Sub- 

 genital lamina of the larval 9 of the usual Blattine form. 



Length. — 30 mm. Tegmen 7-5 mm. ; pronotum 9-25 mm. x 12 mm. 



Types. — Spm. No. 95 (Coll. Auct.), from which the above descriptive note 



was taken, may be i-egarded as the tyjie of $. Shelford (loc. cit.) writing of ^ says • 



" British Mus., type ; Oxford Mus., cotype" ; but this seems to be a misuse of the 

 word "cotype," for no species can have both type and cotypes.
