HORN EXPEDITION-ORTIIOPTERA. 
EPILAMPRIDiE. 
Epilamppa gracilis, Brunner (Syst. BL, 170, Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., 1893, 
p. 57). There is a very small male (12 mm. long), a young male larva, and two 
adult females from Reedy Hole, one female from Painta Springs, and one larger 
lai’va from Palm Creek. Although the form and colouring is the .same as those of 
specimens from the southern parts of Australia, yet the average size is much less. 
Locality .—Three very young larva, 4 mm. in length—from Reedy Creek (2) 
and Finke Gorge (1) —appear to belong also to this species. 
Epilamppa notabilis. Walk. (Brit. Mus. Cat., 202 ; Roy. Soc. Trans. 
S.A., 1893, p. 58). One adult female from Illamurta appears to belong to this 
widely-distributed species, and also a half-grown larva from Palmer River. They 
are distinguished from the preceding species by the body being distinctly dilated 
posteriorly, and also rather diffei’ent detail of colouring. 
Epilamppa fpasepensis, Tepp. (Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A., 1893, p. 59). 
The specimens consist of two adult females and a young larva from the above 
localities and in the same order. As the species was originally established on some 
males only, there is a slight doubt whether the two sets really represent the same 
kind. 
The following description will supplement the original one :— 
Fe7nale. —Testaceous, varied with blackish streaks. Body elongate oval, 7iot 
dilated behind. Head concealed, pale, a brown to chestnut band between the 
eye.s, more or less interrupted in the middle ; clypeus with a chestnut patch ; 
palpi with last joint partially dark. Pronotum with margin pale, bordered 
narrowly reddish-brown externally, and dotted distantly with dark points and 
small spots internally ; disk varied much with black, a distinct swelling anteriorly 
on each side of median line, with round, intensely-black spot near the margin ; 
hind margin nearly straight and without vittie. Meso- and metanotum similar, 
hind margin .slightly produced in the middle, vittee more or less indistinct. 
Elytra lobiform, exceeding the hind margin of the metanotum considerably, a 
black streak in the middle, discal part obscurely dotted, apex subacute. Legs 
testaceous ; anterior femora with 3 —4 small brown spines towards apex. Dorsal 
abdominal segments each alternately pale and dark, pale band dotted with 
brownish, dark band with raised black vittie; median line dark, more or less 
distinct; it and two larger black spots on each side, joined by a pale patch, 
divide the upper surface of the abdomen into six subequal stripes; ventral side
