chamberlin: mtriopoda of the Australian region. 109 



299. Zelanodesmus australianus sp. nov. 



Type.— M. C. Z. 4,892. New South Wales: Southerland (W. M. 

 Wheeler). 



Gonopods very similar to those of Z. rotornmivs; the niesal spur of 

 telopodite more transverse in position, making a more obtuse angle 

 with the distal part, and also proportionately longer and more slender; 

 distal branches also l)en(ling into a more nearly trans\erse position. 



The color-pattern is characteristic; each metazonite caudad of the 

 transverse furrow is l)lack while in front of this it is black at the sides 

 but fulvous or greyish at the middle but with a triangular median 

 black spot projecting into it from the caudal region; the prozonites 

 are light with a black area each side of dorsum, and below on each 

 side and often a small middorsal dark dot. Legs fulvous. 



It is larger than Z. rotornanus, the width being 2 mm.
