with around nine indistinct loculi; cribriform plates in two groups 

 only, each group normally comprised of two small, roughly circular 

 cicatrices, each bordered by a narrow, somewhat protruding 

 chitinized rim ; t'mj simple pores not observed ; anal lobes stout coni- 

 cal, definitely protruding, typically without 8-shaped pores on the 

 lobes, with a long apical seta, about 195/^ long, two stout setae on 

 inner face each about 25/a long, and apparently three slender setae 

 below and on outer margin ; anal ring small, elliptical, narrow, with 

 an incompletely double row of pores and six setae, each about TOju, 

 long; Cauda fairly long,, tapering, apex rounded, length about 45/x, 

 width at base about 6O/1,; inner and ventral faces of lobes more or 

 less chitinized, the inner face faintly areolate; with a pair of long 

 stout and a pair of small slender setae beneath anal ring. 



InterTnediate female. — Not available. 



Larva. — ^Very closely resembling the larva of hryoides., already 

 described, except that the cauda is much longer and protrudes more 

 strongly; various details are exhibited in the drawings. 



Cotype.—Csit. No. 40368, U.S.N.M. 



This insect is quite readily and quite definitely separated from 

 hryoides., with which it was placed as a variety by Maskell, through 

 the possession of much reduced legs, as described. From the other 

 Australian species available for comparison, including -paradoxus 

 (Maskell) and 'punctuliferus Green, it may be distinguished by the 

 split band of pores running from each posterior spiracle to two 

 widely separated points on the body margin. The other species have 

 only a single undivided band of quinquelocular pores between each 

 posterior spiracle and margin. It can not be compared morpho- 

 logically with Mr. Froggatt's fyriformis., as no specimens of this 

 species are available for study.
