190 REVISION OF PTEROHEL.EUS (coutd.) AND SARAGUS, ETC., 



smooth, tibiae slightly rough, and apparently without ter- 

 minal spines, basal joint of hind tarsi as long as the rest 

 combined. Diinensions, 18 x 13 mm. 



llab. — Berowra, North Sydney. 



Three specimens are under examination, one taken by the 

 late Dr. C. D. Clark, labelled N. Sydney, the other two 

 taken by Dr. E. W. Ferguson and myself, at Berowra (one, 

 dead, from a spider's web : the other, alive, under a stone). 

 It differs very markedly from its nearest allies E . suhnutcula- 

 finti Br., and A'. West iroodi Boisd., (between which it is inter- 

 mediate in size), by its unusually gibbous outline, which is 

 the same in all three specimens. The elytral punctures (seen 

 after the removal of the waxy secretion) are coai'ser, while 

 the costae are less evident than in either of the above species.

J Macleay considered that tiie figure given by Lacordaire as E. sidnna- 

 fuldlum, was really that of E. Lacordairti. The figure given bj' I)e 

 Breme, in his " Monograph des Cossyphides," is certainly that of the 

 common E. snhmacidatu7n.
