Haplonyx fallaciosus, Pasc. 



A cotype of this species, is structurally very close to 

 fasciculatus, but has the prothorax non-fasciculate. The 

 description implies that there is but one fascicle on each 

 elytron, but on the cotype there are five on each, three on 

 the third interstice and two on the fifth. 



Decilaus infaustus, Pasc. (formerly Drassicus). 

 Decilaus coryssopus, Lea. 

 A specimen sent for examination by Mr. Arrow as a 

 cotype of Drassicus infaustus and agreeing with the descrip- 

 tion, agrees with the type of D. coryssopus. Pascoe referred 

 it with some doubt to Drassicus, but it belongs to Decilaus; 

 he recorded it from Wide Bay, and the cotype is so labelled ; 

 the types of coryssopus were from Hobart, and it is very 

 doubtful if Wide Bay was correctly given. 



Phlaeoglymma pallida, Lea. 



Two specimens, from the old collection, and without 

 locality labels, evidently belong to this species. They differ 

 from the type in having most of the scales on the upper- 

 surface of a dingy light brown, but in places verging to sooty. 

 The white scales form three lines on the pronotum, of which 

 the median line is no longer than the others. On each 

 elytron they form an oblique stripe from the shoulder to 

 near the suture, and another across summit of posterior 

 declivity. On the under-surface the light-brown scales are» 

 fairly numerous. The three specimens, that I have now seen 

 of the species, appear to be all males. 



Pachyporopterus ; satyrus, Pasc. (Poropterus). 

 Poropterus inominatus, Pasc. 

 Mr. Arrow informed me that these names are 

 synonymous, satyrus was recorded from Tasmania and 

 inominatus from Queensland; the former occurs in many 

 parts of Tasmania, but apparently not beyond that State. 

 If the type of the latter was really from Queensland, I should 

 be dubious about its being really a synonym, especially as 

 Pascoe compared them, saying of inominatus that it was 

 "shorter, less convex, the parts behind the carina marking 

 the upper region of the epipleura, abruptly constricted, and 

 the scales at the base of the elytra concolorous with and 

 closely fixed to the derm, the part, except under a strong 

 lens, appearing denuded." However, in a second communi- 

 cation Mr. Arrow wrote, "The single type specimen of 

 inominatus bears only the loc. Queensland in Pascoe's
