Enide porphyrea, Pasc. (now DiethusaJ. 



Two co-types sent, one bearing a name label in Mr. 

 Pascoe's writing. They agree with the species I redescribed 



as such.('^) 



Enide saniosa, Pasc. (now Diethusa subfasciata, Pasc, var.). 



A somewhat abraded specimen sent as a co-type of E. 

 saniosa. I cannot regard it as more than a slight variety of 

 the common, widely distributed and variable stfhfasciafa. 



Melanterius fugitivus, Pasc. 

 The co-type of this species sent for examination is cer- 

 tainly dijfferent to any species previously seen by me. It is 

 a fairly large species, its upper-surface densely but not quite 

 uniformly clothed with somewhat golden scales ; the under- 

 surface with paler and thinner scales, not quite as dense as 

 on the upper-surface, but certainly not "sparse" (as 

 described). The combined length of the third and fourth 

 abdominal segments is just perceptibly more than that of the 

 second, but distinctly more than that of the fifth. The 

 femoral dentition is strong. The punctures of the meta- 

 sternal episterna are moderately dense at base and apex, but 

 in a single series along the middle. In my table of the genus (5) 

 it would be associated with uniseriatus, which is a much 

 smaller species, with very different clothing, etc. 



Onidistus odiosus, Pasc. 

 The specimen sent as a co-type of this species bears a 

 label "K. G. S.," on which are some marks that probably 

 were intended for(?). It is simply a small specimen of 

 araneus, and the locality — King George Sound — is certainly 

 incorrect. 0. araneus is a common species in the coastal 

 scrubs of Northern New South Wales and of Southern 

 Queensland. 



Paleticus invidus, Pasc. (now Eioryporopterus) . 

 ( Euryporopterus angularis, Lea.) 

 A co-type of P. invidtis was sent with another specimen, 

 both labelled as from Queensland and as from Pascoe's col- 

 lection. The description is somewhat misleading, as the third, 

 fifth, and seventh interstices of elytra are described as 

 elevated, especially posteriorly; whereas the elytra are with- 

 out interstices in the accepted sense, the elevations mentioned 

 being really due to fascicles or clusters of scales; the position
