inner face, witli projecting processes distributed irregu- 

 larly on tlie outer angles. Upper part of the embr}-© in- 

 curved to half its length. Two other species from South 

 Australia — one probably new, and near P. •polygonifoUiis, 

 the other unrecorded for the colouj'-, and probably JP. 

 flaleUatus — could not be determined with certainty from 

 the incomplete specimen. 



JLydrocotyle diantha, F. v. M., discovered at the same time at 

 Kangaroo Island, was previously only known from Western 

 Australia.

Afzelia aicsfraUs/Bail. Johnstone Eiver. Hitherto considered 

 identical with A. hijiiga, A. Grray, but conspicuously dif- 

 fering by the bark exfoliating in hard, thick, oval, or 

 oblong patches, while the bark of A. hijiiga is grey, thin, 

 and peels off in fine, papery scrolls. 



Yallisneria caulescens, Bail, and F. v. M. 



Teucrlum ajiigaceiun, Bail, and F. v. M. 



Hihheriia MiUari, Bailey. Tery closely allied to Hemistemma

!N"OTES ON THE StAPHTLINIDJE CONTAINED IN THE PUBLIC 



jMuseijm, Adelaide, by Eev. Thos. BLACKBrsN, B.A. 



In the course of recent studies of South Australian StapTiy- 

 linidce I have made a careful examination of the specimens in 

 the Adelaide Public Museum belonging to the tribes I-Y. of 

 M. Lacordaire, and it will probably be not without interest to 

 furnish the following list of such species found among them 

 as do not ajDpear to have been previously recorded from South 

 Australia. Most of the insects in question were captured by- 

 Mr. Tepper: — Aleocliara speculifera (Er.), Calodera incequaJis 

 (Fauv.), Quedius fidgidus (Fab.), Q. rujicollis (Grav.), Q. iridi- 

 ventris (Fauv.), CreopliUus oculahis (Fab.) [X.B. — There is no 

 note of locality attached to this specimen.] Fliilonilnis ceneus 

 (Possi.), P. antipodum (Fauv.), P. longicornis (Steph.), P. 

 maceUus (J^iiMY.?), Cojius pacijicus (^v/t), XantlioUnus plioeni- 

 copterus (Er.), Latlirohhim AiistraJicum (Solsky), Pinopliilus 

 irapeziis (Fauv).
