528 REVISION OF THE AMYCTERID.E, 



manuscript name only. I have had the species now described 

 as P. Sloanei, referred to me under the above name. 



In 1904, Mr. A. M. Lea* transferred to Psalidura the follow- 

 ing species referred by Macleay to Talaurinus : — T. penicillatus 

 Macl., T. Riverince MacL, T. exasperatus Erich., T. morhillosus 

 Macl.(nec Boisd.), and T. tomentosus Boisd. Although these 

 species have the anal forceps present, but hidden, in the male, 

 yet these latter are rudimentary as they are in all Talaurini; and 

 in other respects, e.g.^ the length of the intermediate segments 

 of the abdomen are at variance with Psalidura, and I have 

 omitted further consideration of these species in the present 

 paper. 



Thus in Masters' Catalogue, the names of thirty-seven species 

 of Psalidura appear; of this number I propose to eliminate the 

 names of seven as not belonging to the genus, of five as being 

 synonyms, and of one as a manuscript name onl3\ Of the 

 remaining twenty-four, four are unknown to me, three of them 

 having been described from female specimens. To this number 

 I have added twenty-two new species, making a total of forty- 

 six species. The types of all the new species, with the exception 

 of P. metasternalis, are in my own Collection. 



In conclusion, I should like to thank the many entomologists 

 who have so kindly helped me in my work, and especially Messrs. 

 Sloane, Lea, Carter, Masters, Rainbow, Illidge, French, and 

 Taylor. To Mr. T. G. Sloane, for his initial incentive to the task 

 in the gift of his own tine collection of Amy cter idee, and under 

 whose guidance the work was begun, I shall ever be deeply 

 grateful. To Messrs. Masters and Rainbow I am indebted for 

 the opportunities afforded me of examining Macleay's types in 

 the Macleay and Australian Museum collections. Mr. A. M. 

 Lea, by permitting me to examine the majority of Boisduval's 

 types, has enabled me to make my work far more complete in 

 that direction than I had hoped. To Mr. H. J. Carter my thanks
