. Achetidae and Phascognuridae 1906. W. F. Kirby.

This is the second volume of the Catalogue already noticed on page 14, and deals with crickets and long-horned grasshoppers. A few alterations are made, viz.: _Gryllus servillei_, Sauss., is a synonym of _Gryllus commodus_, Walker; and the species of Ephippitytha 32-guttata figured by me in the Agricultural Gazette, N.S.W., 1904, is, Kirby says, a new species which he calls _E. froggatti_.

In this paper all the species formerly placed in the Genus _Tetracha_ are now placed in the Genus _Megacephala_. In a supplementary paper in the same volume Sloane records _Tricondyla aptera_, Oliver, a tree hunting tiger beetle described from New Guinea as also a native of Cape York, North Queensland.

(3) “Notes on the Genus Leptops, with descriptions of new species,” by A. M. Lea (Annales Soc. Ent. Belg. 1906). This is a typical group of Australian weevils. The author notices all the described species, and describes 27 new ones.

(4) “A list of the Libellulidae (Dragon Flies) of Australia,” by J. G. O. Tepper (Trans. Roy. Soc. S. Aust. 1899). This paper, based upon a collection of dragon flies sent to France to Rene Martin, for identification, gives a quantity of information about the names and distribution of Australian species.

(5) “Les Odonates du Continent Australien,” by Rene Martin (Memoires Soc. Zool. France, 1901). This is a very fine paper on the dragon flies recorded from Australia.

(6) Descriptions of new dragon flies. In the Proceedings of the Linnean Society N.S.W. 1906, R. J. Tillyard has contributed four papers, in which a number of described species are identified and recorded for the first time from Australia; while a number of new species have been figured and described.
