L^ccia lucanus, Fabr. — Both sexes not uncommon at 
same locality. 
Terias libythea, Fabr.- | ^ 
Tenas snnlax, Don. — ) ^ 
Elodina a-ugulipemiis, Luc.- — Abundant. 
Elodina parthea. Hew. — Abundant. 
Belenois java, Sparr {Pieris teuionia, Fabr.) — Not quite 
as abundant as usual ■ both males and females exhibited 
the colours usual to the winter forms of this insect. 
Hiiphina scyllara, McLeay.- — This in the usual early 
winter colours was in fair evidence. All noted were clay 
coloured on the hind wings, the slate coloured forms of 
mid-winter had not yet made their appearance, thus showing 
that the Rosewood species under this name do not differ 
from those of the Brisbane district as regards seasonal forms. 
Appias ega, Boisa. — Male specimens seen only. 
Deltas nigrhia, Fabr. — A few male specimens noted. 
Delias nysa, Fabr. — The most abundant of the butterflies 
seen, the males predominating as usual. They were in good 
condition, thus showing recent emergence. 
Catopsilia, gorgophone, Boisa. — One specimen of this 
fine species came and settled down not more than four feet 
from where we were standing at Ihe Bluff. 
Caiopsilia pomona, Fabr.- — Not common. 
Papilio anactus, McLeay.- — Not common. 
Papilio (egeus, Don. — A much wasted male only. 
Eurycus cressida, Fabr. — Two or three males only seen. 
Hespeyidce were notably absent, the season being over 
for them, as for many butterflies which I know are to be 
found in the district. The drought under which the country 
thereabout was suffering, also militated greatly against an 
abundant insect life. 
ANOSTOSTOMA AUSTRALASI^B, G. R. GRAY. 
By R Tllidge, 
The great apterous locust known by this name^ long 
recorded as from Eastern Australia, but never common, 
and of which the most meagre information is obtainable, 
absolutely nothing being known of its habits, was captured 
by us on Easter Monday, at Goodna, under a piece of bark 
lying loosely on the damp ground of the scrub, just where 
we were getting lunch. The swollen head and enormous 
toothed mandibles of the creature give it a most repellent 
appearance. Another feature of the insect is the curious 
form of the labrum, and, in fact, the large size of all the oral 
organs is especially noticeable. That it lives in holes In 
the ground, as stated by Froggatt, I rather doubt. It has 
no fossorial claws like the mole-crickets, yet it is quite possible
