information by which the insect could be iden- 

 tified. 



obscurus (Konibr. et J acq.), Blanch. Group VII. 

 or VIII. (its claw structure not recorded). De- 

 scribed as of moderate size (9 m.) and black 

 colour, from the Northern Territory. I do not 

 know any black species, of either group, from 

 that region. 



ovatus, Blanch. Group VII. or VIII. (its claw 

 structure not recorded). The description men- 

 tions no really salient character, and fits more or 

 less closely many species in either group. 



lpilosu>s (Hombr. et Jacq.), Blanch. Group VII. or 

 VIII. (its claw structure not recorded). Habitat 

 not recorded by Blanchard, but assigned in Mas- 

 ters' Catalogue to the Northern Territory. The 

 description is not precise enough for identifica- 

 tion with any Heteronyor. 



yroximus, Burm. Group VII. or VIII. (its claw 

 structure not recorded) . I do not think it would 

 be possible to identify this insect by means of the 

 description. 



rufomarginatus, Blanch. Group VII. or VIII. (its 

 claw structure not recorded). The description 

 of this species does not fit any Heteronyx known 

 to me. 



rubriceps, Blanch. Group VII. or VIII. (its claw 

 structure not recorded). Probably the type is 

 immature or a variety. The description sug- 

 gests a species of Group VIII., aggregate A A, 

 B, C, D, E, but the description does not supply 

 information that identifies it with any species of 

 that aggregate. 



The following species stand in this Revision of 

 Ueteronyx "in different Groups from those in which 

 they were placed in my former Revision. For my. 

 former Revision Sir W. Macleay was good enough to 

 send me for inspection alleged specimens of many of 

 the species that lie described, and I treated them as types. 

 Subsequent study in Sydney of the Macleay collections has, 

 however, shown that it is not unusual for more than one 

 species to stand in those collections under one name, and in 

 some instances the specimen sent by Sir W. Macleay seems to 

 have been the wrong one, and that circumstance accounts for 

 some of the entries in the following list. One of the entries
