Note. — The genus Phellus is represented in Australia by one described species 

 aud a second, undescribed, which differs in the absence of the prolongation of the 

 intermediate tibiae. In the Australian Museum each form is represented by a 

 female; in the Macleay Museum there are two males of the undescribed species 

 and a pair of P. glaucus Walker. The males contain abundant yellow hair on 

 the abdomen and are very dissimilar iu appearance to the females.
