Blackburn had doubts as to his identification of sub- 

 <aequalis, and these doubts were evidently well founded, as 

 Arrow (no doubt from examination of the types) regards 

 all three of Hope's names as belonging to but one species. 

 The former, however, from his comments on solidus, evidently 

 considered the probability of its being the same species as 

 the one he identified as subaequalis. On pi. xxxi. are 

 figures (23 and 24) of the specimens described by him as 

 belonging to his new genus Asemantus, and the species he 

 supposed to be subaequalis ; whilst figs. 25 and 26 (pi. xxxi.) 

 are of specimens identified by Arrow as solidus, they certainly 

 belong to but one species, a fairly common one in parts of 

 'Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South 

 Australia. 



Curiously enough standing under the name of Scapanes 

 solidus, in many Australian collections, was one of the 

 largest of our Bynastides (pi. xxxi., fig. 29), ( u ) but a refer- 

 ence to the original description proves that this legendary 

 identification is utterly wrong.

Regarded by Blackburn as congeneric with the preceding 

 species and generically distinct from Semanopterus; it occurs 

 in Western Australia, and is very different from any other 

 :species of the genus.

This species appears to be confined to the southern parts 

 of coastal Queensland. 



CORYNOPHYLLUS MODESTUS, Blackb. 



A male from Queensland (Stanthorpe) differs from a co- 

 i>ype male of this species in having the cephalic horn larger
