BY E. MEYRICK. 359 



As in the case of Fyroderces, I have extended this genus to 

 include forms dift'ering considerably in the scaling of the palpi, 

 but in other respects near]}- related together ; hence Ptilochares, 

 Meyr., is reduced to a synonym. It is characteristically Aus- 

 tralian, though one species has now a very wide distribution.

 habit.
