PsiLOTA SP. 



Of the specimens bred out in the Northern Territory, only one male is 

 available for examination. It differs from P. cyaiiea only in being slightly 

 larger and darker and having antennae, apices of the femora and entire tibiae 

 of the fore and hind legs tawny and the hind tibiae tinged with tawny. As 

 no structural differences have been detected, it is regarded provisionally as a 

 colour variety of the above described species. 



I am indebted to Dr. G. A. K. Marshall for kindly examining specimens of 

 P. cyanea. and for his opinion tiiat this species has not been described hitherto.
