L. Utvis, Blanch. 1 have before me specimens from the 
Swan River (Blanchard's locality) of a species so satisfac- 
torily agreeing with Blanchard's description of this species m 
everv respect, except the number of joints in its antennae, that 
I cannot escape the conclusion that tliat author was mistaken 
in regard to its antennae, probably neglecting to examine the 
antennae on account of the general resemblance of tlie insect 
to other Li [xdetri , which have nine-jointed antennae. The 
same species stands in the Australian Museum as L. Urvia^ 
Blanch. 
L. (t(jr(><t i><, Blackb. 1 regret to find that when I des- 
cribed this species I counted the joints in its antennae incor- 
rectly, and stated them as eight in number. There was no 
excuse for doing so (as the joints are evidently only seven). 
No /Jparefrifs had been previously described as having seven- 
jointed antennae, although several species, really having such 
antennae, had been described erroneously. I remember think- 
ing that only seven joints was an impossible number, and 
persuading myself that I discerned a very minute additional 
joint. In a memoir which I published in the following year 
attention was first drawn co the existence of Liparefri hav- 
ing antennae of only seven joints. Blanchard having attri- 
buted nine-jointed antennae to iiis L. kevis, I did not take 
that species into account when I described af/re.^f/n, but I am 
now of opinion that the two names represent only one species. 
L. nigricejiii, Macl. I think there is little doubt of this 
being the female of L. Jet vis, Blanch. Macleay attributed 
nine-jointed antennae to it. I have examined the presumable 
type, in the Australian Museum, and find it to be — though 
in very bad condition — certainly conspecific with specimens 
in my own collection, whch I have long regarded as nir/ri- 
cep-<, Macl., and as the female of heris, Blanch. 
L. r/lohiilus, Macl. The presumable type is in the Mac- 
leay Museum, and I nave examined it there. 
/>. tuhercylaftis, Lea. This species is practically unde- 
scribed, the structure of the antennae not being referred to 
except as involved in a reterence to Macleay 's grouping of 
the genus, in which (as mentioned above) the antennal struc- 
ture is about as often wrong as right. There is no reference 
at all to the structure of the hind tarsi. As, however, there 
happens to be one marked character of the insect mentioned 
in the description, I have selected a Li pnrefnix presenting 
that character (which, however, is probably sexual), to be 
called ''fnherriflafits, Lea (?),'' and have indicated its char- 
acters by its place in the foregoing tabulation. 
L. opar/roJlis, Macl. The presumable type in the Mac- 
leay Museum has antennae of only seven joints. It is near
