ANNALS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, No. 2. 19 
25. Agonoscelis rutila, Fabr. E.S. iv., 1L9-152 (1794.;. Loc: 
Eigi (A.C. English) ; Toko, Fairfax Harbour; Fergusson Island. 
Note. — The New G-uinea examples of this species appear to constantly vary 
from those occurring in Queensland (e.g., at Cairns). The latter have the four 
quadrate black spots on the prothorax mentioned by G-uerin — Revue Zoologique, 
iv., 262, ii. (1841) — whereas in the insects under observation the two spots on each 
side of the disc are united. 
Sub-fam. Tessaratomidce. 
26. Lyramorpha diluta, Stal. Trans. Ent. Soc, LoncL, ser. 8, 
vol. i., p. 598, 18(53. Loc. ; St. Joseph Eiver (A. C. English) ; Eigi 
District (A. C. English). 
Note. — The upper surface of the abdomen is pale-violet with a silky lustre. 
27. Lyramorpha maculifer, sp. nov. Light-brown, the coriuni of 
the elytra more or less suffused with red; a broad band of punctures 
along the hind border of the prouotum, and a large round spot just 
within the inner angle of the corium piceous; a small pale luteous 
area in front of the spot of corium ; abdomen above with light-green 
reflections; sides of abdominal segments and of triangular lateral anal 
lobes without trace of serrulations ; these lobes longer than in L. diluta, 
Stal, and directed upwards. Seventh abdominal segment of male with 
the hind border slightly concave, but without central emargination, its 
lateral angles produced into stout blunt teeth. Male, 9-5 lines ; female, 
10-5 lines. Loc. : Kiwai, Fly liiver ; and Toko, Fairfax Harbour. 
Note. — Readily distinguished from L. diluta (and L. rosea, Westw.) by the 
absence of serrulations on the sides of the abdominal segments ; from L. diluta 
also by the simple terminal abdominal segment of the male and by its smaller size. 
It may prove to be the L. Volenhovii, Stal (Tijdschr. voor Ent. ser. 2, ii., p. 124, 
1867), which is also a New Gruinea insect. The description of this species is not, 
however, accessible for reference. 
28. Agapophyta bipunctata, Boisd. Vov. de l'Astrol., Ent. ii., 
p. 626, pi. ii., fig. 5, 1835. Loc. : South Cape (T. H. Eichards) ; 
Kibola ; Taputa, Chad's Bay; Toko, Fairfax Harbour; St. Aignan 
(5-7-91) ; Laloki Eiver. 
29. Oncomeris flavicornis, Burm. Handb. ii., 1, p. 353, 1835. 
Loc. : St. Joseph Eiver (A. C. English) ; Fergusson Island (A. C. 
English); Kiwai, Fly Eiver (A. C. English). 
30. Plisthenes meriance, Fabr. Loc. : Eigi District (A. C. 
English) ; Fergusson Island (A. C English) ; Sudest (3-7-91). 
FAM. ClMICINA. 
Sub-fam. Dinidorince. 
31. Megijmenum dentatum, Boisd. (op. cit.) Loc. : St. Joseph 
Eiver (A. C. English). 
32. Megymenum insular e, Westw. Hope Cat. Hem. 26. Loc. : 
St. Joseph Eiver (A. C. English) ; Eigi District (A. C. English) ; Kiwai, 
Fly Eiver (A. C. English) ; Laloki Eiver; Toko, Fairfax Harbour. 
Note. — The specimens of M. insulare from the above localities are quite 
similar in appearance to the common Queensland Megymenum, and do not even 
exhibit the slight features by which the two New Guinea species — M. affxne, 
Boisd., and M. affine, Montr.— are, according to Stal. (vid. Kong. Sv. Vet-Akad., 
Band 9, No. 1, pp. 87, 88, Stockh. 1870), distinguished from the Australian insect.
