Var. 1. A male from the Coen River agrees in all 

 respects with the typical form, except that the prothorax is 

 entirely pale; and a female from Prince of Wales Island 

 has the prothorax similarly pale. 



Var. 2. A female (fig. 23) from the Mary River appears 

 to represent another variety. It has the prothorax immacu- 

 late, and the dark mark at the base of the elytra disconnected 

 with the apical ones, and these connected only at the apex; 

 this variety certainly seems to be a connecting link with 

 variegatus. 



Laius cinctus, Redt. 



A variety of this species, from Adelaide, has the dark 

 parts of the head and elytra entirely of a deep, shining black. 



Hab. — Queensland : Gayndah ; New South Wales : 

 Sydney, Galston, Hornsby; Victoria: Alps and Dividing 

 Range ; South Australia : Lucindale, Mount Lofty, Adelaide, 

 Largs Bay, Kangaroo Island. 



Some other species in the Museum are from the following 

 localities : — 



L. bellulus, Guer. Queensland (Longreach, Emerald, 

 Rockhampton, Gayndah, Dalby, Mount Tambourine), 

 Victoria (Alps, Geelong), South Australia (Karoonda to 

 Peebinga, Lucindale, Adelaide, Mount Lofty, Gawler, Leigh 

 Creek, Mount Painter, Lake Callabonna, Port Lincoln, 

 Kangaroo Island), Northern Territory (Tennant Creek). 



L. flavopictus, Lea. South Australia (Mount Lofty, 

 Strzlecki Creek). 



L. intermedius, Lea. Western Australia (Warren and 

 Capel Rivers). 



L. purpureiceps, Lea. Western Australia (Cue). 



The species known to me (including those here described) 

 and not included in the table in the Transactions of the 

 Entomological Society of London (1908, pp. 152-154) may be 

 added to that table as follows: — 



A. L. purpureipennis, Lea. The differences 



between this species and alleni reside 

 mainly in the antennae of the male (see 

 description; ante, 1916, p. 321). , ; 



B. Prothorax with an apical process. (2) 



* Each side also with a process ... ... ... miraculus 



** Without lateral processes. . . 



t Apical process strongly produced and 



acutely pointed ... ... armicollis 



ft Apical process less produced and bilobed apicicollis 



BBB, * Antennae pectinate in male .... ... mirocerus 



Antennae not pectinate in male ... C and CC 



** 



<2> An alteration from the original, rendered necessary by 

 apicicollis.
