This magnificent species I name in honour of Mr. Fortnum, one 
of the most zealous Entomologists of this Society. His ardour 
in the pursuit of science induced him to visit the Australian 
continent, if I may so call it, and I am happy to say that his ex- 
pectations have been in no way disappointed, as far as regards 
Zoology. ‘To his exertions many naturalists are greatly indebted, 
and much may be expected from him. The above insect was
