354 Mr. A. M. Lea's Notes on ' 



margins are truly serrated, although owing to the clothing 

 they frequently appear to be so. 



The species is very common on young Eucalyptus foliage, 

 and I have taken many pairs in coipnla.

Cadmus purpurascens, Chp. 



A female from Ropes Creek in the Macleay Museum 

 agrees exactly with Chapuis' description and figure of this 

 species ; a male in my own collection from Jenolan, which 

 I believe to be conspecific, has the base of the head, the 

 space between the antennse and a line connecting with 

 the base black, the head elsewhere being flavous ; the 

 antennae are entirely black except the lower parts of the 

 four basal joints ; the prothorax is piceous-brown with 

 obscure darker spaces and with the lateral and anterior 

 margins flavous ; the scutellum is black, the elytra are as 

 in the female except that the shoulders, two small and 

 obscure submedian spots (the outer one almost exactly 

 in the middle of the length, the inner somewhat nearer 

 apex) and the extreme margins are black ; the femora and 

 tibise are black variegated with flavous, the tarsi are 

 entirely black. 



Chapuis does not mention the length of the antennae ; 

 in the male before me they considerably pass the apex of 

 the body, in the female they just extend to the apex. 



Cadmus stratioticus, Chp, 



There is a specimen of this species in the Macleay 

 Museum, but it is without a locality label. 



Cadmus sculptilis, Chp. 



A very pretty species the type of which was described 

 as having a brown scutellum ; in seven specimens before 

 me only two have it brown (a male and a female), in the 

 others it is of a deep black ; the elytral punctures are also 

 described as brown, in two male specimens they are deep 

 black ; in one male the entire legs are pallid. There is 

 in all seven a black spot on each shoulder, but the spots 

 are sometimes very small. The smallest male measures 

 4f , the largest female 7 mm.
