A. repandum Pasc. = Seirolrana repanda, and will be dealt 

 with under Seirotrana later. 



A. ruptum Pasc. — I have one specimen from Queensland (I 

 believe from Mackay) which exactly corresponds with Pascoe's 

 type from Victoria. Here again it is possible that some mistake 

 of locality has occurred. This and A. steropoides differ from all 

 other Adelia known to me in their resemblance to Apasis, but 

 they are easily distinguished, inter se, by the marked difference 

 in their external sculpture, the striae being uninterrupted in A. 

 steropoides, but broken and somewhat reticulate in A. ruptum. 



A. scutellare Pasc. — My specimens from Mud gee and Inverell, 

 N S.W., correspond with the type from Darling Downs, Q., a 

 neighbouring locality. Pascoe only notes the pilose clothing on 

 the legs, whereas in fresh specimens the whole upper surface is 

 clothed with hair, so that it closely resembles A, pilosum Pasc, 

 but its sides are less angulate, and the sculpture of the pronotum 

 is different. 



A. scytalicum Pasc, from West Australia, is readily identified 

 by its smooth pronotum and bicolorous form. A small specimen 

 marked with an MS. name of Bates', from Fremantle, in the 

 Bates Coll., is probably a male of this species, while a larger form 

 from Champion Bay in the same collection, also labelled with an 

 MS. name of Bates', seems to me to be only a variety of A. 

 scytalicum. 



A. steropoides Pasc. — I have one specimen given to me by Mr. 

 T. G. Sloane, locality uncertain, which exactly corresponds to 

 Pascoe's type from Victoria (see note above on A. ruptum). 



A. geminatum Pasc =A. punctum Carter. — An examination of 

 the types of these has proved this synonomy. It also proves the 

 fairly wide range of this insect, my specimens coming from 

 Grafton, Bellinger, and the Clarence, N.S.W., whereas A. gemi- 

 natum is described from Wide Bay, Q. Its combination of small 

 size, square form and very distinct sculpture should distinguish 

 it from others. 



A. geniculatum Haag-Rut. = Seirotrana genictdata Haag-Rut. 

 This will be more fully dealt with under Seirotrayia.
