COLPOCIIILA. 
C. deceptor, Blackb. (2), Storm Creek, Alice Springs. 
IIETERONYX. 
H. horridus, Blackb ? (1), Glen Helen. Its antenme having been broken off, 
this specimen (which is otherwise in very bad condition) cannot be named with 
certainty, but I have little doubt of its being PI. horridiis. 
H. addendus^ Blackb. 1 (1), Oodnabarrina. This specimen also has lost its 
antenme and is otherwise in bad condition, but it seems pretty certain to be 
PI. addendus. 
H. Vagans, Blackb. (4), Camp 4, Tempe Downs, Hermansberg, Reedy Hole. 
LEPIDIOTA. 
L. sp. ? (1), Palm Creek. This specimen is so badly damaged that it is impos¬ 
sible to determine its species, but it is probably not any described one. It is 
denuded of scales, has lost its antenna^, and has only one entire leg; probably it 
was picked up dead. The capture is, however, of considerable interest, as no 
Lepidiota, so far as I know, has previously been I’eported from Central Australia, 
all the hitherto-described Australian species being from Queensland, West 
Australia and the Northern Territory. 
ANOPLOGNATHUS. 
A. niackayi, Blackb. $ 1 (1), Palm Creek. This species was described (Proc. 
Linn. Soc. N.S.W., 1891, p. 495) on a specimen concerning the sex of which I was 
doubtful. I have now little doubt that it is a female, and that the example before 
me is its male. It is of a reddish-brown colour, with the elytra almost whitish, 
and with very little trace of the prothoracic infuscation which is so conspicuous in 
tlie described female. It differs from the female by the characters that usually 
distinguish the male Anoplognathi. The hinder part of the head, it should be 
noted, is less closely punctulate than in the female, and the external teetli of the 
front tibiie resemble those of the female, except in being smaller and more acute. 
From the male of A. Odeivahni, Mad. (to which A. Macleayi is closely allied) it 
differs by the much greater length of its mesosternal process and by the much 
greater width of its clypeus.
