Locality .—^Reedy Creek; Stevenson River. One female from each. The 
insects which I have referred to this genus resemble others occurring in the more 
southern parts of South Australia, and of which some live different varieties (?) 
can be distinguished, but differ in several structural though inconspicuous details, 
and may be new (the cerci are comparatively shorter in this than with some of the 
others). 
Apchimantis brunnepiana, Sauss. (Mel. Orth., i., 401). 
Locality .—Alice Springs, one adult male ; Palm Creek, Crown Spring (a half- 
grown larvjB each); Bagot’s Creek (a very young larvie). The adult differs in 
nothing from specimen about Adelaide. 
Haania kpaussii, Sauss. (Mel. Orth., ii., 75). One male, two females and 
two larvte of different ages. These seem to agree well with the published descrip¬ 
tions. Head and pronotum are provided with strong spines, the colour is tawny- 
grey, densely dotted with black ; the elytra of the male have a black humeral 
stripe, and the legs are banded with black.
