I. laticollis, Burm. This is another species that I had not 
seen when I tabulated Jsodon (loc. cit.). I have since received 
an example from W. Australia which differs from I. curtus as: 
T. laticollis is said to do ; its clypeus is a trifle less narrowed in 
front, its prothorax evidently more massive and less narrowed 
anteriorly and its elytra are more regularly punctured and striate 
than those of an average curtus; nevertheless I hesitate to 
regard it as more than a variety of curtus, inasmuch as the differ- 
ences are all of them comparatively slight and pertain to charac- 
ters (the prothoracic development of the male and the linear 
arrangement of the elytral sculpture) in which the Dynastides 
are frequently inconstant; in respect of the latter character 
I. curtus is certainly variable, as also in size. 
ANOPLOGNATHUS. 
A. Macleayi, Blackb. I have recently received from Mr. Jung 
examples of this species which enable me to improve my descrip- 
tion (P. L. S., N.S.W., 1891, p. 495) as it is clear that the type 
was either a colour var. or (more probably) a specimen that had 
been discoloured in some artificial manner. Fresh specimens are 
of a uniform pale opalescent testaceous colour both above and 
beneath, except the legs which have a greenish gloss in certain 
lights, and the abdomen and pygidium which are coppery but 
edged (and more or less suffused) with metallic green. 
ORYCTES. 
O. Barbarossa, Fab. Ihave lately received from Mr. Price 
Maurice a remarkably fine and large example of this species 
taken by Mr. Maurice during one of his explorations in Northern 
Australia. The specimen is accompanied by two larve which are 
said to be (and evidently are) the larve of O. Barbarossa. As 
there does not appear to be any published description of the 
latter the following record of characters will be of interest: 
Long. 33 inches; of the usual Lamellicorn type (2.e., with three 
pairs of legs placed on the anterior three segments, and the apical 
segments greatly dilated); colour piceous ; each dorsal segment 
thickly studded with granules bearing each a short stiff bristle 
and also thinly set with long fine hairs (the granules and long 
hairs however becoming very sparse on the dilated apical four 
segments, but becoming close again on the apical part of the last 
segment) ; ventral segments (except the apical and hind part of 
the penultimate) devoid of setiferous granules but thinly clothed 
with long fine hairs. Head comparatively small, closely and very 
rugulosely punctulate; mandibles tridentate, very powerful, 
transversely strigose beneath ; the anterior seven dorsal segments: 
with very strong transverse sulci.
