and. the sides, passing direct to the centre of the lateral border, con- 
tinued along it and then bordering the postero-lateral angles ; and (3) 
a continuous arched line, approaching No. 2 behind the centre of the 
fore-border, continued to the hind-border which it meets just internal 
to the postero-lateral angle. Scutellum conspicuously emarginate 
behind, the limb and a sub-marginal line yellow, with an intercepting 
impressed line separating them, also with a yellow band along the fore- 
border almost uniting with the sub-marginal line. Abdomen beneath 
with a yellow internally crenated border separated by a piceous line 
from a yellow internally deeply serrated interrupted band of the same 
colour. Legs, yellow. Length, 2| lines. Loc. : Toko, Fairfax Harbour. 
Note. — The two specimens on which the above description is based may 
possibly be regarded as illustrating a variety of B. ruptilinea, Walker.

6. CallipJiara dimidiata, Dallas. Catalogue of Ilemiptera, i. 
p. 24, 8 (1851). Loc: St. Joseph Eiver (A. C. English) j Ferguson 
Island (A. C. English). 
Note. — Also occurs at Cape York. 
7. CallipJiara (nobilis, Linn.)? Loc : St. Joseph River (A. C. 
English); Sudest (3-7-91). 
Note. — To the above are referred numerous examples of a very handsome 
insect which undoubtedly is comprised in the very limited section of CallipJiara, 
which includes this species. However, Dumeril's description of C. nobilis, in the 
Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturellss, the only one available for reference, is too 
brief to suitably characterise the species, and therefore this identification, as a con- 
clusion based on inadequate evidence, may prove incorrect. 
8. EJiilia senator, Eabr ; var. croesus, Voll. Loc : St. Joseph 
River (A. C. English). 
Note. — This variety, as well as the typical species, is also met with in North- 
east Queensland, along the coast from the Herbert River northwards. 
9. EJiilia flammigera, "Walker. Cat. Hem. Heter. i. p. 42. 
Loc : St. Joseph River (A. C. English). 
10. EJiilia flammigera, Walker, var. One of the specimens from 
the St. Joseph River and another from Rigi present a distinct variation, 
having the portion of the pronotum behind the transverse furrow 
black. The scutellum behind its furrow is also of the same colour, 
but the part in front of the furrow is green, with coppery reflections. 
Again, the black portion of the scutellum is interrupted by central and 
subapical faint coppery-red transverse bands. 
Suh-fam. Asopidco. 
11. Elatynopus tenellus, "Walker. Cat. Hem. Het. i. p. 127. 
Loc: St. Joseph River (A. C. English). 
Note. — A single specimen from the above locality presents nearly all the 
characters assigned by Walker to this species. It has, however, the head above 
brown with numerous green punctures, instead of being " black with four interrupted 
ochreous lines." Both insects measure 4£ lines in length.
