C. com pactus , Blackb. I find that this species is identi- 

 cal with that which stands in the Macleay Museum as Lipare- 

 trus mcEcliidioides, MacL, and since one of the Museum speci- 

 mens is presumably the type, my name must be dropped as a 

 synonym. 



G. rufesctns, Blanch. This species is described by 

 Blanchard as being that which was figured but not described 

 in the "Voyage au Pole Sud" (1842), under the name Fhilo- 

 chlcenia rufescens. Probably the identification is correct ; but, 

 whether or not, the name Caulohius rufescens, Blanch., will 

 stand. I have a species before me from Tasmania (Blanch- 

 -ard's locality) which agrees witn the description fairly satis- 

 factorily, but the description is not detailed enough to allow 

 of certainty. I have, therefore, called the species ''Caulohius 

 rufescens, Blanch ( ?)." According to Burmeister, C. rufes- 

 <iens, Hombr. and Jacq., is identical with Cmdohhis (Serices- 

 this) cervinus, Boisd. It, however, seems very clear that C. 

 rufesceiis, Blanch., is not identical with C. cervinus, Burm. 

 (? Boisd.), as a glance at the descriptions will show, the for- 

 mer being called "depressed," and the latter "strongly con- 

 vex, almost cylindrical." Pending the improbable produc- 

 tion of evidence to the contrary it seems clear, therefore, that 

 there are two distinct species, which must be called C. cervi- 

 nus, Burm. ( ? Boisd.), and C. rufescens, Blanch. I have not 

 seen any insect that seems likely to be the former of these, 

 which would be difficult of identification without inspection of 

 Burmeister's specimen. 



C. advena, Blackb. When I described this species I men- 

 tioned that I had failed to arrive at certainty as to the num- 

 ber of joints in its antennae, but thought there were nine joints. 

 I have now succeeded in counting them, and can state posi- 

 tively that there are only eight joints.
