The type Clementsi is from the Sherlock River, W. Aus- 

 tralia, in B. M. 



I have lately received over six hundred examples from 

 Roebourne, 60 miles from the Slierlock River, which are 

 identical with Hampson's type and with the types of chroma ; 

 they show very little variation. I never could understand 

 wdiy Sir George Hampson sank chroma as a synonym to 

 annulata, Fabr., in ' Phalajnas/ vol. i. p. 72.
