Longicornia of Australia and Tasmania. 173 
But they do not differ in any other respect from examples 
in which these spines are more strongly developed. 
Newman considered the S. elongatus of Boisduval to 
be distinct from the S. dorsalis of MacLeay, because the 
latter has ‘‘ particularly described his insect as wanting 
the spines of the antenne.” Though this is the literal 
interpretation of MacLeay’s expression, “‘articulis apice 
haud spinosis,” it is just possible that the latter was 
meant to convey that the apical joints of the antenne 
are without spines, which would be quite true of S. elon- 
gatus, Boisd.

In the Catalogue of Gemminger and Harold, Steno- 
chorus assimilis, Hope, and S. Roei, Hope, are also given 
as synonyms of this species. S. Roei probably was de- 
scribed from a small specimen of rubripes, Boisd.; but 
as Hope placed his S. assimilis in a different section— 
characterised by having, inter alia, the thorax spinose— 
I am forced to doubt the correctness of this part of the 
synonymy.
