This species, the home of which is in Papua, was taken for the 

 first time in Australia by Mr. J. A. Kershaw, in January, 1914, 

 on Lloyd Island, near the mouth of the Claudie River, North 

 Queensland. These specimens are now in the National Museum, 

 Melbourne. There are also specimens recorded from Queens- 

 land, in the South Australian Museum. I have a number from 

 Papua.
