I received three examples of this Australian species from Mr. Henry 

 Edwards, labelled "New Zealand;" and although that gentleman also collected 

 in the neighbourhood of Melbourne, there is no reason to suspect any confusion 

 of locality. The ..^Eschnina are insects of notoriously wide distribution and 

 great power of wing.

|H. Caput supra nigrum, longe brunneo-pilosum, antice et postice cum nasi margine 

 labroque (macula mediana nigra excepta) sanguineum ; ore flavido. Pronotum 

 nigrum, marginibus maculisque tribus sanguineis ; margine postico fere semi- 

 circulari. Tborax stipra niger, inter alas sanguineus, lineis duabus sanguineis ; ad

+ The characters of Telebasis are briefly indicated in a note appended to the intro- 

 duction to his ' Synopsis des Agrionines, ' Sine legion, p. 4. The chief character is that 

 the wings are petiolated up to the first basal postcostal nervule.
