Micracantha nutans, Sharp, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 
1878, p. 209. 
This species was taken by Mr. Walker at Jones’s 
Island, North-west Australia, and also at Damma Island, 
in the Malayan Archipelago. It occurs also at Port 
Darwin and Port Essington, in North Australia, in 
various islands of the Malayan Archipelago, and extends 
to the Philippines. Examples from the Sandwich Islands, 
described under the name of Micracantha nutans by Dy. 
Sharp, do not seem to me to be specifically distinct. 
The males of this, as of nearly all the species of the 
genus, have the anterior coxe each provided with a 
small spur. This character, so far as the present genus 
is concerned, seems to have been noticed only by Olivier, 
who, in his description of a species* from the Island of 
Bourbon, nearly related to but distinct from P. Banksi, 
states that the anterior femora are armed at the base 
with a small spine. The spine, however, arises from the 
coxa close to its anterior and distal edge. 
55. Prosoplus sp. 
One example taken at Port Darwin. 
The species is much smaller and more uniformly 
pubescent than P. Banksi, Fabr., and does not exhibit 
pale bands on the elytra. 
56. Symphyletes pedicornis, Fabr. 
Lamia pedicornis, Fabr. Syst. Ent., p. 170. 
Roebuck Bay, North-west Australia (Walker) ; occurs 
also in North Australia, and extends to New Guinea.
