Whilst in Sydney I had the opportunity of examining the type 
(male) of Froggatt’s Australian Embiid (0. gimieyi) in the Agricul- 
tural Museum. It is a dry specimen without an abdomen. 1 he 
neuration characterises the species as an Oligotoma. From the pre- 
sent species it may be distinguished by its smaller size and lighter 
colour (the whole body is light brown, the head no darker than the 
thorax) as well as by the wing- veins. The (unforked) posterior por- 
tion of the radial ramus is only well-developed at its proximal end, 
the remaining part beii}g only faintly indicated. The same is true of 
the median and the cubitus. The eye as seen from above is almost 
circular (as in Enderlein’s figure of 0. sanndersi). It is possible that 
it may be one of the cosmopolitan species (sanndersi or latreillei) but 
a reliable identification of this specimen is obviously out of the 
question.
