 " hood " is solid and the sides with bi'anching lamellce. In the 

 labial palpi, the first two joints are slightly longer, with the 

 "hood '" of the cradle less pronounced, so that its shape is that of 

 a canoe. 



Mr. Tillyard has taken the trouble to draw the figure of the 

 palpi, for which I am greatly indebted to him, while the photo- 

 graphs were kindly supplied by Mr. H. V. Macintosh, of the 

 Sydney University.
