N.Q., Kuranda, near Cairns ( $ ) ; Townsville in April ; 

 three specimens received from IVIr. F. P. Dodd. I have 

 also seen a 9 from N.A., Melville Island. The $ from 

 N.Q., Cape York, described by IVIr. Me\Tick as asfreas, 

 Drury, is in all probability the same species. The females 

 of the two species are scarcely distinguishable, but the 

 males are very different.
