622 ON SOME PAUROPODA FROM N. S. WALES, 



This species seems to be most nearly related to P. intermedius 

 Hansen, from Chili. The form of the antenna is very similar, and 

 the anal plate, though differing considerably in detail, has the same 

 general form. 



Pauropus NOv^-HOLLANDiiE, n.sp. (Plate Ixxi., figs.15-16). 



A single adult male of this species was taken under a stone at 

 Broken Bay. The general form is fairly robust, the posterior end 

 being considerably higher and wider than the anterior. The cuticle 

 is apparently wholly without pubescence. The lower ramus of the 

 antenna is a little more than two-thirds as long as the upper, and 

 half as wide again. Its anterior flagellum rises from the truncated 

 antero-lateral angle, and is but slightly shorter than the posterior, 

 each being only a little more than twice the length of the ramus. 

 The globulus and posterior flagellum are apical, the former fairly 

 large, and with a stalk equal in length to its transverse diameter. 

 Flagellum of upper branch about one-fifth longer than those of 

 lower. Basal unringed portion of all flagella short and stout. 

 The "eyes" are a little closer than their length. The hairs of the 

 head have the usual disposition, and are cylindrical, slightly swol- 

 len towards apex. The hairs of the body are cylindrical and curved. 

 The pair betwen the last tactile setae, and those of the anal segment 

 are all long. The tergiim of the anal segment ends in a rounded 

 prominence, below and beside which are the extremely short knob- 

 like styli. Considerably lateral to these, on the posterior border, 

 and outside the corresponding hairs of the sternum, are a pair of 

 long hairs, one-third as long as the posterior tactile setge. The 

 sternum of the anal segment has a pair of long hairs, with swollen 

 ends, on the posterior border, and a very short pair anterior to 

 these, and nearer the midline. The sternum ends posteriorly in an 

 oblong protuberance occupying one-third of the distance between 

 the posterior hairs, its posterior border notched in the middle. The 

 anal plate, the base of which is hidden under this projection, has 

 two, long, triangular processes, with rather concave inner margins, 

 not showing a transverse suture. The last pair of tactile setae are 

 twice as long as the third, and half as long again as the fourth. All
