174 AUSTRALIAN PSELAPHIDJZ 



trapezoid and transverse, 11 ovoid. The sexual characters are 

 very important : in the £, all the femora, more especially the 

 anterior ones, are thicker; the metasternum is broadly concave 

 and nearly carinate all round; the 2nd ventral segment bears, in 

 the middle, two small brushes of hairs, short, very compressed, 

 broad, and bending forwards; between those brushes the surface of 

 the segment is a little depressed; in the 9 the metasternum is con- 

 vex with a more or less prominent sulcus. 



E. Iceviceps, Schfs., the unique type of which is fortunately a g, 

 does not differ except by the cephalic fovea?, which are not so 

 deep. 



This species seems abundant in Australia and Tasmania. The 

 type lit' Iceviceps, Schfs., is labelled East Creek.
