 Hab, In Nova Hollandia, ad Portum Essington. {v. in Mus. Brit.) 



Antennae large at their base, 17-jointed; basilar segment short, wide, convex; labium 

 smooth, with the anterior portion flattened, with a transverse sutural ridge; dental 

 plates almost quadrate, narrowed anteriorly, and faintly punctured ; teeth six, the in- 

 ternal one on each side bifid and conjoined with the middle one, the external one 

 distinct ; posterior pair of legs subconic, with a slight elevation on the femur that 

 passes transversely inwards to the middle of the articulation with the tibia ; external 

 margin rounded ; internal one acute, with three spines, the angular one large and 

 bifid ; internal surface flat, with two spines, arranged in an oblique longitudinal line, 

 near the distal articulation; inferior surface with three spinulse on a raised diagonal 

 line on the external, and two on a corresponding line on the internal margin. Late- 

 ral appendages short, bifid. Preanal scale elongated, narrowed posteriorly; margin 

 straight. 



4. Corm. obscurus, pallide olivaceus, antennis segmentorumque marginibus posticis viridibus, 



capite mandibulis labioque saturate ferrugineis, pedibus postremis ochraceis, dentibus 

 & nigris obtusis, pedibus postremis quam in Corm. aurantiipede gracilioribus spinisque 

 majoribus caeteriim simillimis. — Long. unc. 2^.

This species so closely resembles C. aurantiipes, as hardly to be distinguished 

 from it in the dried state, except by the coloured margins of the segments, 

 the larger and more acute spines, and the more slender form of the legs. It 

 is also much smaller in size. There are four specimens in the Museum, all 

 agreeing exactly with the above description. 



5. Corm. Jcecundus, olivaceus, capite labio mandibulisque saturate castaneis politis sparse 



punctatis, antennis Isete viridibus, pedibus postremis ochraceis convexis ; superficie 

 inferiore spinulis nigris quatuor oblique biseriatis in margine externo duabusque in in- 

 terno uniseriatis. — Long. unc. 3 — 3^. 

 Hab. In Nova Hollandia, prope Paramatta, {v. in Mus. Brit, nostroque.) 



In addition to the characters above stated I may add, that the antennae are brown at the 

 apex ; the dental plates are narrowed and rounded at their margin ; teeth eight, black, 

 obtuse ; mandibular tooth very large ; posterior pair of legs with the femoral shorter
