Mr. Tepper worked mainly with South Australian material, mostly in the South 
Australian Museum, and collected by himself. He gives a useful general account of 
the Brachyscelids prior to dealing with the species in detail. 
Following are his species : 
B. calycina (p. 275, with Plate V, fig. la-d). On stunted bushes of E. dumosa 
and E. oleosa, at Murray Bridge, Goolwa and Kangaroo Island, South Australia. 
B. glabra (p. 278, with Plate III, fig. 4). Found on Mt. Lofty Ranges, Lyndoch, 
&c., S.A. " On stout branches of E. rostrata, but rather rare, and always solitary. The 
outer texture resembles that of the bark of the branches very remarkably." 
B, neumanni (p. 275, with Plate V, figs. 2a-d). Found on E. dumosa at Murray 
Bridge, S.A. 
B. ovicoloides (p. 277, with Plate III, fig. 2a-/). Found at Moonta, Yorke's 
Peninsula, S.A., on E. incrassata and perhaps E. odorata. " They appear to differ 
from B. ovicola Schrader, by being symmetrical instead of regular in form, much more 
curved, and the apex almost flat . . ." Froggatt, however (Agric. Gaz. N.S.W., 
ix, 491, 1898), considers the two species to be identical. Both this species and B. 
calycina Tepper, have been found on E. dumosa A. Cunn, at Coolabah, N.S.W. (J.H.M. 
and J. L. Boorman). 
B. regularis (p. 273, with Plate III, figs. 3 and 3et). It is found at Murray Bridge, 
Lyndoch, &c., in S.A., on E. rostrata. Mr. Froggatt says that this is identical with 
B. pedunculata Olliff. See also Fuller, op. cit., p. 212. Mr. Froggatt also (Agric. Gaz. 
N.S.W., ix, 493), says it is identical with his B. conica. 
B. strombylosa (p. 277, with Plate IV, fig. 3o-c). Found sparingly on the stoutar 
branches and branchlets of E. incrassata at Murray Bridge. For a note on the synonymy 
see Froggatt (Agric. Gaz. N.S.W. ix, 492), who says that it is identical with B. crispa 
Olliff, while Fuller, op. cit., vii, 212, does not disagree. The matter might be looked 
into again, for the N.S.W. specimens are common on E. sideropJtloia, while that tree 
is not found in South Australia, the home of B. strombylosa. 
It has been found on E. punctata in Ourimbah State Forest, N.S.W. (W. A. W. 
de Beuzeville); and on E. panicidata at Kendall (Dr. J. B. Cleland). 
B. subconica (p. 274, with Plate IV, fig. 1). . Found at Murray Bridge on E. 
uncinata. It is not uncommon in the Mallee scrub in the locality. ' In its erect habit, 
and n-.oro elongated, slender form, it differs from B. conica Froggatt, which, according to 
his figures, is more or less dependent." 
B. urnalis Tepper (p. 274, with Plate IV, fig. 2). Figured also in Plate XXXIV, 
Froggatt. Found at Murray Bridge. " These are the most beautifully shaped galls 
known to me, and occur on a stunted species of Eucalyptus allied to E. uncinata and 
E. gracilis, but differing from either, and not agreeing precisely with any described 
kind."
