Lenosoma fasciculatum, Macl. 

 Mr. Tillyard has taken numerous specimens of this fine 

 species at Dorrigo. The male differs from the female in being 

 somewhat narrower, club of antennae considerably larger, ab- 

 domen depressed along middle, and front tibiae less-acutely 

 dentate. Both sexes have the fifth abdominal segment more 

 conspicuously clothed than the others. The colour of the 

 prothoracic clothing varies from testaceous to black. 



Glycyphana brunnipes, Kirby. 

 PI. xii., figs. Ill, 112, 113. 



New South Wales specimens of this species are usually 

 of a decided green colour, with the white spots on the elytra 

 of small size and isolated. Queensland specimens usually have 

 the green much dingier (more of an olive-green or even brown) ; 

 the elytral spots enlarged in size and irregularly conjoined to 

 form an irregular postmedian fascia. On the prothorax the 

 discal spots are two or four in number, but sometimes alto- 

 gether absent. On one (from Cairns) the white line at each 

 side of the prothorax is reduced to a small apical spot ; on 

 another specimen to a small apical and a small median spot. 

 The markings on the head, pygidium, and under-surface are 

 also variable. 



Glycyphana pulchra, Macl. 



subdepressa, Blackb. 



PI. xii., figs. 114, 124, 125. 



There are four co-types of pulchra before me, and another 

 specimen from Cairns ; and the markings are not exactly alike 

 on any two of these. On each elytron the median fascia is 

 broken up into two or more spots. The apical fascia ( 42) is 

 sometimes represented by a few feeble spots only. Towards 

 the base there are sometimes a few feeble spots. The spots 

 on the under-surface also vary considerably. 



I examined the type of subdepressa, prior to its being 

 sent to the British Museum, and noted it as being a quite 

 normal specimen of pulchra. 



Glycyphana ochreonotata, n. sp. 

 PI. vi., fig. 8. 

 $ . Deep velvety-black. Sides of prothorax, upper in- 

 terior sides of scapulae, an oblique vitta from each shoulder 

 to near the middle, sides near the posthumeral incurvature, 

 an interrupted postmedian fascia on elytra, and a large trans- 

 verse spot on each side of pygidium ochreous ; a spot on each 

 hind coxa, and a narrow strip at the side of each abdominal 

 segment ochreous-white.
