In one of the two specimens before me the lateral two of the 
three postbasal elytral spots are widely separated. from the

angles to the suture and E that sense is straight, but) its 
margins are sinuous. Among the species having the head and

S. insignis, Blackb. In the diagnosis of this species (Tr. Roy. 
Kun S.A., 1892, p. 217, line 3 of the diagnosis) “ante basin" 
uld be es apicem.” “Ante basin” being of course non- 
Ee and the term “subapical” in the remarks following the 
diagnosis dd evidently applied to the same marking that ante : 
basin is applied to in the diagnosis, probably any reader would 
discern that ante basin must be a apsus calami, but it is better 
to draw attention to it here. 
S. filiformis, Blackb. In the diagnosis of this species (Tr. Ro 
Boc, S.A., 1892, p. 218, line 8) for “suture” read FOEL 
margin.”

example bs W. Australia. 
S. obesi pies ROM (Typ. Bupr., APP. L, 1879, p. 32), is

S. flavipennis, Géhin. My collection and that of the S.A. 
Museum contain specimens of what I take to be this insect. 
differ by the presence of long white hairs on their he aud 
thickly thin’ their sterna, as well as by the very much closer 
puncturation of their prosternal process. There is a doubt, it is 
true, about the identity with flavipennis of the specimens before 
me because the pilosity of their sterna is quite dense, whereas
