By Arthur M. Lea, F.E.S., Museum Entomologist.. 

 [Contribution from the South Australian Museum."^ 



The collection of insects^ 1 ) brought back by Captain 

 White consisted altogether of 1,543 specimens. Of these the 

 moths are dealt with by Dr. Turner, the butterflies by Mr. 

 Waterhouse, and the Hyinenoptera and a few other specimens 

 by Mr. W. W. Froggatt. I have also to thank Messrs. H. 

 J. Carter and T. G. Sloane and Dr. E. W. Ferguson for the 

 names of some beetles. In addition to the Orders specially 

 dealt with there were also obtained of Orthoptera, 36 species; 

 of Hemiptera,^ 39 species; of Diptera, 17 species; and of 

 Neuroptera, 5 species. 



The majority of the specimens brought back were beetles, 

 but owing to the jolting of the camels and to the fact that 

 during some stages of the trip all the specimens were mixed 

 together as obtained, many of even these hard-shelled insects 



(i) Also the spiders, which were handed over to Dr. Pulleine 

 for treatment. 



(2) Of these Mr. Froggatt identified two species of Cicadidce 

 as Henicopsaltria nubivena, Walk., and Thopha colorata, Dist.
