Notes on Table. 



A. On some of the species of this section the antennae 

 are more or less strongly curved, but they are nowhere flat- 

 tened, so that a section cut anywhere through them, at right 

 angles to their length, would be a perfect circle ; on some of 

 the species of AA (e.g., curvicornis) part of the antennae, 

 more especially about the apex, is more or less circular in 

 cross-section, but there is at least a portion between the 

 middle and the base, where they are flattened, so as to be 

 more or less narrowly elliptic in cross-section. 



e. Seen both from below and from the sides; in inter- 

 coxalis the increase in width to the apex is rather slight, but 

 quite distinct. 



f. See Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. Wales, 1900, pi. x., fig. 23. 

 ff. L.c, fig. 40. 



C. On the abdomen of curvicornis the excavation slopes 

 backwards on to the convex portion of the abdomen, although 

 there is not a special median encroachment of it ; but although 

 thus somewhat intermediate between C and CC, the species 

 has many distinctive features; in brevipes the encroachment 

 is more conspicuous than on curvicornis, but less than on the 

 others ; on some of the species of CC, the excavation encroaches 

 upon the sides of the convex portion. 



oo. pascoeus and mastersi are also very distinct by their 

 sternal armature. 



D. As viewed from the sides, see Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S. 

 Wales, 1910, pi. xxvii., fig. 39. 



Comments follow on the species not included in the table. 



A. angusticollis, Westw. The type was probably a 

 female; judging by the description and figure it could be 

 placed in the table as far as DD, but not beyond, as the 

 metasternum was not mentioned. 



A. asper, Blackb. Should be distinct by the absence of 

 a prothoracic fovea, but the legs (except as to their colour), 

 under-surface of abdomen, and metasternum were not men- 

 tioned, so it cannot be placed in the table beyond AA. 



A. bostocki, Pasc. Schaufuss regarded this name as a 

 probable synonym of fortnumi, a surmise not accepted by 

 Raffray. By the description alone it cannot be placed in 

 either A or AA. 



A. breviceps, King. Probably belongs to A of the 

 table, but the metasternum, abdomen, and legs were not men- 

 tioned ; a cotype that I examined some years ago was a female 

 without antennae. 



A. constrictiventris, Lea. A remarkable species, 

 allied to but abundantly distinct from nitidicolUs, with which
