W INSECTA.

 [Contribution from the South Australian Museum. '\ 



The collection of invertebrates brought back by Captain 

 White consisted altogether of 1,653 specimens; of the true 

 insects, the ants have been worked out by Professor Wheeler 

 (of Harvard University), the moths by Dr. Turner (of Bris- 

 bane), and the beetles by myself; the bugs have been sent to 

 Mr. Distant (of the British Museum), but the manuscript 

 relating to same has not yet been received. Of the other 

 insects, the Orthoytera are represented by 27 species, the 

 Neuro'ptera by 6 species, the Dijitera by 4 species, and the 

 Hymenoptera (other than ants) by 3 species. 



Probably, so far as the insects are concerned, a worse 

 time could not have been selected for collecting ; nevertheless, 

 some very interesting species were obtained, and the large pro- 

 portion of new forms amongst the ants indicates how little 

 is known of these interesting insects from the dryer parts of 

 Australia. Of the beetles, the most interesting species are a
