[105] (Note #151: Scaeosopha epileuca (Lower, 1901) was published in December, 1901. A precise date for the publication of Scaeosopha mitescens (T.P. Lucas, 1901) has not been determined. Volume 14 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland was published in March 1899 and Volume 15 in May, 1900 according to the Presidential addresses published in the following year. Volume 17 Part 1 was published in May 1902 and Volume 17 Part 2 was published in March 1903. However, the Presidential address in Volume 17 Part 1 made no mention of the date of publication of Volume 16 in 1901. From the above dates it is assumed that this was, as usual, in the period March-May 1901 which would give S. mitescens (T.P. Lucas, 1901) priority)
