MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
APACHYIDJT. 
Apachyus queenslandicus Mjoberg. 
Kuranda, Queensland, (Dodd). 1 1 large juv. from Burr, labelled 
beccarii. 
We are satisfied that Mjoberg was correct in describing this species. Only 
the inner margins of the wings are pale in this dark brown insect. The distal 
margin of the pygidium is slightly more produced than in beccarii and the 
forceps become gradually instead of suddenly spatulate distad. 
The adult here recorded has the abdomen gradually widening distad. 
Apachyus athertonensis Mjoberg. 
Kuranda, Queensland. II, 4, 1925, (F. P. Dcdd), 2^, 4$. 
Mjoberg described a female, not a male as he supposed. The latter sex 
has the genitalia very much as in queenslandicus ; the pygidium, however, has 
its distal margin armed with seven distinct points whereas in queenslandicus 
the median and lateral points have between them more numerous but very 
minute points. 
The distinctive coloration is well described by Mjoberg. The present 
series agrees closely except that the entire sutural half of the wings is whitish. 
In a recessive example the head is reddish, not darkened caudad, and in several 
specimens the paler rows of latero-dorsal spots on the abdomen are fused 
to form broad latero-dorsal longitudinal bands. 
LABIIDiE. 
Nesogaster amoenus (StSl.). 
Mt. Lamington District, Northern Div., Papua, VII, 1927, (C. T. 
McNamara), 3 9 (one with short tegmina, two with long tegmina and fully 
developed wings). 
These specimens differ from Sumatran individuals in having the tegmina 
immaculate and of a more metallic purplish black and the emargination 
following the proximo-internal projection of the forceps is more decided. 
Specific separation may be indicated, but males are necessary to determine 
this. The lateral margins of the pronotum arc yellow buff, these areas broaden- 
ing caudad. In all other respects close agreement with our Sumatran material 
is shown. 
In the winged females the wing pads have a large proximo -internal 
spot of yellow buff. 
The general appearance of this small earwig agrees closely with that of 
certain species of the genus Labia. 
Nesogaster erichsoni (Dohrn). 
LeGuillou’s Forficesila oceanica, described in 1841 has been placed as a 
synonym of Chelisoches morio, with the type locality the Marquesas Islands. 
That author’s specimen from Vavau Island, figured and named Forficula oceanica
