(20) M. intersecta, Walk., List. Horn., i.-, p. 97, 1850. 

 Hab. — Northern Territory, Queensland. This is an extremely 

 variable species. I have seen it from numerous localities, 

 and in hardly any case is it without some local variation. 

 It does not only vary in colour but also in shape, some 

 specimens being pale, some dark, some unmarked on pro- 

 notum and mesonotum, some narrow-bodied, some as robust 

 as Distant's M. extrema. After examination of the type 

 specimen of Goding and Froggatt's M. sylvanella in the 

 Macleay Museum, Sydney, I have no hesitation in declaring 

 that this is merely a pale and narrow - bodied variety of 

 Walker's species. I have seen every grade between it and the 

 typical species intersecta, and it may possibly be found later 

 that M . extrema, Dist., comes into the very wide drag-net of 

 this extremely variable species as a larger and differently 

 coloured race.

(22) M. maculicollis, ii. sp. (pi. xvii., fig. 1). Closely 

 allied to M. angularis, but very much smaller. Female — 

 Head black, with a triangular spot on each side of vertex 

 near front, and a stripe on apex of front yellow. Pronotum 

 black with two curved, inwardly angulate fasciae, one on 

 each side of central line, yellow, and a centrally interrupted 

 fascia of yellow along the dorsal surface of the posterior 

 margin, with two other spots on the lateral dilatations. 

 Mesonotum black, with' two very small central fasciae, two- 

 large discal fasciae, and two lateral fasciae yellow, cruciform
