NOTES ACCOMPANYING EXHIBITS. 
By R. midge. 
(a) Collected by Mr. J. C, Smith . — Two specimens of a 
Neuropterous insect, belonging to the ant-lions (Myrme- 
leontidae Glennrus er^hrocephalus. A not uncommon 
but very beautiful species, found in the Brisbane district, 
the present specimens being from Indooroopilly, 
(b) Collected by Miss Hilda Geissmann. — (1) A 
Neuropteron, which I have identified as Dendroleon 
dumigani (Tillyard), though with some doubt, allowing 
for variation which occuns more or less in most insects, 
though more specimens would be desirable. It belongs to 
Myrmeleontidae. (2) A lerp (Psyllidae), probably of the 
genus Spondylaspis. This is of interest, because the white 
woolly filaments formed part of the decoration of the 
nest of the white-eared flycatcher (Monarcha leueotis), 
taken by her and Mrs. Mayo in the remains of the scrub 
on Stradhroke Island, opposite Southport, and now de- 
posited in llie Queensland Museum. (3) The huge 
Xyleutes cinerea, previously known as Endoxyla cinerea. 
This specimen has a wing expanse of 210 mm., hut the 
tips are broken; it was probably quite nine inches across. 
The length from head to end of body is 9.”> mm. (4). An 
interesting moth (greatly dilapidated and not properly 
recognisable), is what T once knew as Chtelepteryx ex- 
politus, but probably Darala chelepteryx, of Felder 
Other two knoAvn species are C. collesi and C. felderi, 
both being found on Tambourine Mt. They are large and 
beautiful species, especially the latter. The empty case 
exhibited is that from which the moth so much damaged 
emerged, and judging from it, I have made the above 
identification. 
(c) Collected by myself. — (1) Myremelleon sp? Acan- 
thaclisis sp? Ant-lion insects, taken in the house at 
Bulimba (ceiling). Do not appear to be common. (2) 
Charagia (Hepialus) daphnandrae, Lucas — female. For 
an account of the habits of this and the Xyleutes, above 
referred to, see Tllidge Proe. Roy. Soe.,' Queens. Vol. 
XIV., and Tllidge and Quail, the same, Vols. XVT and
