The Queensland Naturalist. 
July, 1921 
This list sufficiently indicates the paucity of species 
found in the district, but must not by any means be con- 
sidered as perfect, for no doubt other forms occur. The 
most abundant of all is No. 20, which has completely 
denuded the caper trees ( Capparis sp. ?) of foliage. Nos 
8 and 9 were only seen in the garden of the homestead, 
the first about plumbago and the second on beans. No. 19 
was also only noted a few times about the garden and as 
the larvre of these insects feed on Cassia , no plants of which 
were in evidence, they must have travelled a long distance. 
No. 14 : Of these a batch of larvae and pupae were found in 
February on myall*, which bore the parasitic Loranthus 
pendulus , and in December a few T specimens were seen 
flying round the belah or belar, a Casaarina\ on which 
Loranthus linophyllus grew. No. 15 was abundant in all 
stages on young myall tiees and No. 16 on brigalow,! both 
attended by ants, the latter by the large meat ant, 
Iridomyrmex detectus.
