' Local it >). The above species is apparently very common in and 

 around Melbourne. The first specimens were received from Car- 

 negie (collected by Mr. R. A. Dunn, after whom I have the pleasure 

 of naming this species), where they were found in large numbers 

 in a garden. Further records are Hampton (A. J. Swaby), and 

 West Brunswick (J. Ros Garnet).
