liY ARTHUR M. LEA. 91 



New Zealand given to me by Mr. J. J. Walker. Capt. Broun 

 appeared to regard the genus as not having truly pentamerous 

 tarsi,* but in one of my New Zealand specimens there are 

 certainly five joints to the right middle tarsus, although the rest 

 have the tarsi either broken off or with but three of the joints 

 remaining; the apical joint, however, is thin — not much thicker 

 than a stout seta — and apparently clawless. 



MALACODERMID^. 



Balanophorus Macleayi, Lea. 



(Plate iv., fig. 8.) 



A figure of this fine species is given, as no species of the genus 

 (which appears to be fairly numerous in, and confined to, 

 Australia) has hitherto been figured. 



Neocarphurus impunxtatus, Lea. 



(Plate iv., fig. 9.) 



Figured for the same reason as the preceding species. 



BOSTRYCHID^. 



Mons. P. Lesne having recently monographed the above family, 

 and altered the generic names of all the previously described 

 Australian species, a catalogue of the Australian and Tasmanian 

 species may be acceptable. In this catalogue are given the 

 localities so far as known, with references to Mons. Lesne's 

 descriptions and figures. It has not been considered necessary 

 to give here full references, as these have been given by Mons. 

 Lesne.

* It is true that in describing the genus he says, " Tarsi seemingly normal, 

 all mutilated, three joints only intact;" but in describing a second species — 

 P. lohatus (Man. Part v., p. 1114) — he says, " The tarsi are only triarticulate 

 and are without claws."
