somewhat irregular, so that the dark portion at the summit 

 of the apical slope appears to be trilobed. 



DlAPHONIA MNISZECHII, Jans. 



A specimen of this fine species is in the Macleay Museum 

 from the Darling River. 



Lyraphora obliquata, Westw. 



A specimen labelled as from Mudgee (New South Wales) 

 is in the Macleay Museum, but the locality is probably 

 wrong. 



Glycyphana brunnipes, Kirby. 



There are two specimens of this species in the Macleay 

 Museum, from North-western Australia, with the white mark- 

 ings occupying an unusually large proportion of the elytra. 



MlCROVALGUS QUINQUEDENTATUS, Lea. 



Some specimens, that appear to be males of this species, 

 differ from the females in having the apical segment of 

 abdomen flattened in middle, and the general colours some- 

 what darker. 



Microvalgus DUBius, Lea. 



There are specimens of this species in the Macleay Museum 

 from South Australia. 



CURCTJLIONIDAE. 



Myllocerus herbaceus, Pasc. 



Mr. Arrow sent for examination a cotype of this species ; 

 it has a strong conical tubercle projecting backwards from 

 the under-surface of the rostrum, and all the femora are 

 acutely and distinctly dentate; as these characters (the first 

 of which is a very remarkable one) were not mentioned in 

 the original description I thought that possibly a mistake 

 had been made in the identification, and wrote to Mr. Arrow 

 for confirmation of same. In reply he wrote, "I have ex- 

 amined Pascoe's type and find it has the peculiar hooked 

 process on the rostrum and also sharply spined femora." 

 MirabiliSj the only other Australian species with the under- 

 surface of rostrum somewhat similar, belongs to a different 

 section of the genus, and has the base of prothorax much 

 wider and clothing very different. 



Essolithna rattula, Pasc. (formerly Pepkricus). 



A cotype of this species, evidently the one noted as 

 having "two fine white lines at the base of the elytra," was
