I am unable clearly to understand Brolemann's account as to the 

 localities he attributes to typical falcatus and his subspecies scobiriula. 

 He states (Op. cit., p. 125) that "the Gayndah specimens have been 

 considered as a distinct subspecies for which the name of scobinula 

 subsp. nov. is proposed" and on p. 128 that "There is, therefore, 

 hardly any doubt that the Gayndah specimens belong to at least a 

 subspecies different from the Cairns form." The pertinence of the 

 reference to Cairns is not clear. He may have had typical falcatus 

 from that locality, though Silvestri's types were from Gayndah.
