One of our smallest and neatest species. In the absence of a sexmark the colour of the clubs of 
tlie antennae beneath forms a reliable guide to the sex. 
297. Padraona fiavovittata Latreille. 
This name lias been wrongly applied to Taractroeera agrauUa from West Australia. The original 
de?eriptioii applies best to this the most abundant spocies of Padraona, and we are confirmed in this 
view by Latreille: he placed it in the section of the TIesperidae with a short terminal hook to the 
antennae, which show's that it did not belong to the genus Taractroeera.
