The Cane Grubs of Australia. 
No. 576. 
Stage I1].—Greatest length when extended, 40 mm.: width at base 
of anal segment, 10 mm.; length in curved natural position, 20 mm.; 
thickness, 6-5 mm.; width ef head, 5 mm.; length to apex of labrum, 
3 mn. 
Epicranium strongly, more or ‘less transversely, rugulose or 
wrinkled, except along its caudal and lateral margins where it is smooth, 
distinctly more convex than in the related species, the epicranial sclexite 
apparently without sete. Pubescenee about as dense as in Anoplog- 
nathus, except on abdominal segments where it is much sparser, the 
sete throughout shorter than in that species, more especially so on 
segmental convexities. Mandibles and antennx very similar to Calloodes 
greyanus. Cervix and segmental sutures unarmed. 
Closely related to Anoplognathus boisduvali, Calloodes greyanus, 
and Repsimus wneus., 
Stage 11.—Greatest length, 27 mm.; width, 6 mm.; length in natural 
curved position, 12 mm.; thickness, 5 mm.; width of head, 2 mm.; length 
te apex of labrum, 2 mm. 
Stage I—Greatest length, 15 mm.; width, 3-25 mm.; length in 
normal curved position, 7 mm.; thickness, 2-75 mm.; width of head, 
2 mm.; length to apex of labrum, 2 mm. 
= 
Left mandible in all stages without a trace of the second inner tooth 
(not the tooth near retinaculum) present in Stages I. and II. of Calloodes 
yreyanus and Repsimus weneus. 
No. 539. 
Stage ?.—Greatest length when extended, 20 mm.; width at base 
J ae 8 eee: 
of anal segment, 4-75 mm.; length in natural curved position, 9 mm.; 
thickness, 4 mm.; width of head, 2-75 mm.; length to apex of labrum, 
2-40 mm. 
In general appearance rather similar to the small species No. 650, 
ancallies. Anal orifice forming a transverse slit. Whole body dorsad with 
long dense pubescence, the basai abdominal segments also with very short, 
stout sete; venter of body with scattered sete. Epicranium practically 
smooth, with seattered setw, the cephalic margin of epicranial sclerite 
with a row of set, elypeus and labrum about as usual. Mandibles about 
as usual, the left with two smali acute teeth, the right with one; no small 
tcoth near the retinaculum. Apical abdominal segment ventrad without 
scattered sete but with a long, oblique row of very close, short, stout 
sete on either side, rather far laterad, running nearly the whole length 
of the segment, somewhat approaching each other caudad. Antenne 
3-jointed; first joint short, second long and slender with two setz dorsad 
cn its apical half; third nearly as long as second, its apex conical, with 
numerous scattered sete (nearly twenty) on its apical half, the appendix 
very long, half as long as the joint but not projecting beyond its apex; 
apparently no fourth joint. 
LEPIDIOTA FRENCHI Blackburn. No. 538. 
Stage I1].—Greatest length at stretch, 1 mm.; greatest width (at 
base of anal segment), 10 mm.; length in natural curved position, 18 mm. ; 
thickness, 8 mm.; greatest width of head, 6 mm.; length to apex of 
labrum, 5-5 mm.
