9 . Differs in having smaller and less concave head, 

 eyes smaller, third joint of antennae scarcely shorter than 

 fourth and of the same shape, hind legs thinner and less 

 curved, and in the abdomen. 



Hah. — Queensland: Coen River (W. D. Dodd). Type, 

 I. 11844. 



On two males the basal segments of abdomen are small 

 and shrivelled, the two following ones are large and entirely 

 white, the second of these has its tip sinuous and a flavous 

 subconical process on each side, beyond this the segments 

 are depressed, with a large circular cavity on each side, 

 bounded posteriorly by a shining ring-like elevation; the tip 

 is deeply notched, with a small conical lobe (probably the 

 tip of the sixth or seventh segment) in the notch; on the 

 female only one segment is white, the next one is flavous, 

 and rather widely incurved to the middle of the apex, with 

 the following segment moderately long and also flavous. It 

 is allied to L. platygaster, but the male with curious circles 

 below the second phosphorescent segment, and this with 

 conical processes at the sides; the male is distinguished 

 from the female of that species by its pale legs. 



Atyphella flammans, OH. 



A male, from Kuranda, differs from the typical form in 

 having the dark parts of each elytron reduced to a medio- 

 basal patch between the first and third discal costae, and a 

 still smaller apical one. 



Telephorus pulchellus, W. S. Macl. 



Mr. H. J. Carter and I saw a dwarf form of this species 

 in abundance on flowers on Cradle Mountain, and Mr. L. Rod- 

 way took similar specimens on the summit of Ben Lomond 

 in Tasmania. 



Telephorus viridipennis, Macl. 



Many specimens of this species have the prothorax im- 

 maculate, on others there is a spot varying from hardly more 

 than a small infuscated stain to large, sharply defined and 

 black, with a greenish gloss. 



Telephorus rufiventris, Macl. 

 T. tepperi, Blackb. 



The type and a co-type of T. tepperi are but slight varie- 

 ties of T. rufiventris, and similarly coloured specimens occur 

 in Queensland.
