* T may here mention, that in the collection of the British Museum there 

 is a female of the Diaphonia frontalis, in colour closely resembling the male • 

 and that the D. Cunninghami of G. R. Gray, regarded by both Burmeister 

 and Schaum as the female of D. frontalis, is decidedly a distinct species; it 

 was described and figured by M. M. Gory and Percheron, from a female 

 specimen now in the British Museum.
