Baris leucospila, Pasc. f 

 ( '? B(/r/s ((DKiiiula, Boh.) 

 Described by Pascoe from Katau, but fairly common in 

 Queensland.^ The markings of the upper surface are very 

 peculiar, and are exactly as in the description of ■rtmcenuJa, 

 but the prothorax could scarcely be called carinated. Some 

 specimens, it is true, have a feeble median line, but Bohe- 

 man, in his short diagnosis of (/nxenuJa, calls it "carinafo," 

 whilst in the full description he says, "linen dorsal? longi- 

 fiidinnii suheJevata, hrvi." He also says the scutellum is 

 clothed with white scales, whilst in the ten specimens before 

 me it is glabrous. Of the rostrum he says, "piceinii, siih- 

 nitiduvi, subtiliter punctulatum." In the specimens before 



* Miero.<icopi<'a is included here, as its clothing is so spars© 

 and indistinct that it might fairly be i-egnrded as glabrous : in 

 soroTia the only .scnles are a few oai the scutellar lobe.
