12 The Cane Grubs of Australia. 
longitudinal cleft, on either side with a raised oval lobe. Apex of abdomen 
ventrad with an oblique well-defined area on either side, of very dense 
shortish sete. Antenne 4-jointed, first joint rather short; second long 
and slender and with about six sete dorsad; third as long as second, or 
nearly so, with about three sete near its base dorsad; fourth minute, 
situated in centre at apex of preceding joint. Latero-cervieal shield 
consisting of a very narrow, elongate (dorso-laterad)- area, far above 
(dorsad of) thoracic peritreme. Spiracles with an open, transverse 
(dorso-laterad) sht. Colour slaty blue, due to contents of food canals 
showing through; first four or five dorsal convexities of segments folds, 
white; peritremes rust red; head golden yellow, the elypeus and labrum 
darker; the mandibles red, black at apex; antenne red brown; legs 
eclden yellow. 
CALLOODES GREYANUS White. No. 655. 
Stage [i1.—Greatest length, 42 mm.; width at base of anal segment, 
12 mm.; length in natural curved position, 21 mm.; thickness, 10 mm.; 
width of head, 6 mm.; length to apex of labrum, 5-5 mm. 
Very similar to Anoplognathus boisduvali but mandibles shorter, 
‘distinctly shorter than length of epicranium (in Anoplognathus, as long 
er longer than epicranium) ; antennwe somewhat shorter, when viewed 
from above, the apical joint longer than preceding (barely as long in 
Anoplognathus), the second joint with three setz in centre dorsad, close 
together (antennze wholly naked in Anoplognathus) ; mandible with the 
second apical tooth well defined, the tooth just laterad of retinaculum 
not at all indicated; cervix unarmed, also the segmental convexities; 
pubescence much denser, very dense, of a rich reddish hue. 
Stage I11.—Greatest length, 28 mm.; width at base of anal segment, 
8 mm.; length in normal curved position, 14 mm.; thickness, 7 mm.; 
width of head, 4-25 mm.; leneth to apex of labrum, 3-90 mm. 
Left mandible with two small apieal teeth inside (proximad of) the 
outer one. 
Stage I—A bred larva, 48 hours old, has the two inner apical teeth 
well defined and acute, but no trace of the tooth near the retinaculum. 
Width of head, 2-75 mm.; length to apex of labrum, 2-50 mm. 
REPSIMUS AENEUS Fabr. No. 434. 
Stage I1].—Greatest length when extended, 32 mm.; width at base 
of anal segment, 8 mm.; length to apex of labrum, 4 mm. 
Left mandible with a distinct tooth just laterad of the retinaculum, 
not well defined cn right mandible. Otherwise apparently the same as 
Calloodes greyanus. 
Stage 11 —Greatest length, 25 mm.; width, 6 mm.; length in natu ral 
curved position, 12 mm.; thickness, 5 mm.; width of head, 3 mm.; length 
to apex of labrum, 3 mm. 
Stage I.—Width of head, 1-50 mm.; length to apex of labrum, 1-50 
mm. 
Stages II. and I. with two small teeth within apical tooth. 
This species runs very close to Callodes greyanus but the head in 
all stages is relatively much smaller and the tooth just distad of the 
retinaculum is present, at least in the left mandible.
