196 Mr. Arthvir M. Lea's Revision of the 



that a South Australian insect should occur at Peak Downs 

 in Queensland and at no intermediate places that I have 

 for the present at least placed it amongst some undeter- 

 mined forms. The South Australian species is a Helcogaster, 

 a genus not acknowledged as distinct by Fairmaire.

I have previously identified and tabulated as this species 

 an insect which, although it agrees fairly closely with the 

 description, is, I am now convinced, not that species but 

 an allied one. It is not here described, as the only 

 specimen now before me has damaged antennae.

Carphurus diopthalmus, Fairm., Pet. Nouv. Ent., 1877, 

 p. 161 ; Journ. Mus. Godefifr., 1879, p. 107. 

 There are two specimens (from Belmore and the Blue 

 Mountains) which with some hesitation I refer to this 

 species. In both specimens the antennae (not mentioned 

 in the original description) have the three basal joints 

 entirely and the next two partly pale, the rest being 

 blackish. In one (a male) the head has a black spot at 

 the base and the legs are entirely pallid ; in the other (a 

 female) the base of the head and the femora are infuscate. 



Hob. Queensland : Gayndah. 



Carphurus angustatus, Lea, P. L. S., N.S.W., 1895, 

 p. 250. 



Although, as pointed out in the original description, 

 this species is less robust than eyanojoterus, it can be more 

 readily separated from that species by its elytral punctures ; 

 of these in angustatus the majority are clearly cut, whilst 

 in cyanopterus they are sparser and although many of them 

 are larger there are but few that are at all clearly defined. 

 In colour the two species are almost identical.

 only moderate elevation on the head, the elevation
