&c; while in perthensis, inter alia, the antennal rami are all less 

 elongate and the antennal joints are shorter so that all the rami 

 are notably more closely packed together than in the present 

 my knowledge seen, the antennas of which are not exactly 

 species. The two species of the genus that I have not to 

 described, are Gerstdckeri, Macl., and Gerstdckeri [Macl.?], Champ, 

 which are so differently coloured that they are not at all 

 likely to be identical with the present species. The rest of the 

 described species have only eight antennal rami in the male. In 

 my tabulation of the species of Evaniocera (Tr. Roy. Soc, S.A., 

 1899, p. 52) this species will stand beside E. perthensis, Blackb., 

 from which it mr.y be distinguished thus : — 



C. Eyes divided ... ... ... ... perthensis, --Blackb. 



CC. Eyes normally emarginate ... ... ... persimilis, Blackb. 



Victoria ; in my collection ; also in the collection of Mr. 

 French. 



E. perthensis, Blr.ckb. When I described this species (I.e., 

 p. 53) I did not notice the remarkable character mentioned 

 above In E. nervosa, Meyricki, &c, the eyes are very deeply 

 emarginate, but the two lobes are connected perfectly distinctly : 

 while in this species the two lobes are absolutely disconnected, 

 so that the insect has four eyes, — a character which may perhaps 

 have to be treated as generic eventually. 



EMENADIA. 



E. difficilis, Blackb. (Tr. U.S., S.A., 1899, p. 55). The habitat 

 of this species is South Australia.

BARIS. 



B. orchivora, Blackb. Sat lata ; minus nitida ; glabra ; picea 

 (nonnullorum exemplorum elytris latera versus rufescent- 

 ibus); rostro quam prothorax sublongiori, compresso, apicem 

 versus nitido fortiter crebre punctulato et longitudinaliter 

 strigato, scrobibus subtus conniventibus ; oculis subtiliter 

 granulatis ; antennarum scapo oculum fere attingenti ; pro- 

 thorace confertim subgrosse punctulato ; scutello modico 

 granulato; elytris a basi retrorsum leviter angustatis, fortiter 

 striatis, striis indistincte cancellatis, interstitiis crebre 

 granulatis ; femoribus sat elongatis vix clavatis, dente parvo 

 armatis ; tibiarum unco apicali parvo horizontali ; unguiculis 

 subparallelis, ad basin fere connatis. Long, (rostr. excl.), 

 14 1.; lat., i 1. 



A very distinct species. It was bred in Sydney from the stems 

 of a Queensland Orchid (Dendrobiu?n sp.) and sent to me by Mr. 

 W. W. Froggatt.
