APOLYTA RETICULATA, Sauss. (Mel. Orth., I., 70). 
‘¢Mesonotum black, varied with yellow ; metanotum and base 
of abdomen orange. Wings with discoidal vein emitting 4—9d 
branches towards the apical borders. Female short and broad, 
much smaller than the male. The black disk of the pronotum 
often with traces only of red instead of a band. Last ventral 
segment large, margins raised. Cerci reddish. Elytra scarcely 
exceeding the abdomen by 2 mm. Trochanters, tibiz, and tarsi 
yellow.

By a misprint at p. 48 of my paper, “A. reticulata” is 
repeated instead of “awrantia.” It is doubtful if this is really 
the species meant by Burmeister’s extremely short description : 
‘Body wholly brown, pronotum and elytra pale yellow, brown 
towards apex.” But even Saussure’s descriptions are insufficient 
to identify the species of this difficult genus with any degree of 
certainty.

ISCHNOPTERA AUSTRALIS, Sawss. (Mel. Orth., T., 27, fig. 17; II., 101). 
Ischnoptera australica, Br., according to Saussure. 
From a comparison of the two descriptions one would scarcely 
be able to say that both applied to the same species, as they 
mostly refer to different details. Saussure only records ‘ New 
Holland ” as the habitat. 
IsCHNOPTERA FULVA, Sauss. (Mel. Orth., I., 28, 71, fig. 18; IT., 102). 
“Yellowish brown, resembling 7. australis. Pronotum bi- 
sulcate, margins subopaque. Elytra and abdomen broad, anal 
area truncate at apex.
