residents in Western Australia, but as yet have only received one 
lot, but a very interesting collection; from Mr. W. O. Mansbridge, 
the Warden at Hall's Creek, Kimberley, N.W. Australia. 
Though two species are described from Tasmania, I have been 
unable to enlist anybody to collect specimens.

me papers on these insects.

Expedition in 1868.
