ARACHNIDA FROM NORTHERN QUEENSLAND. 



Part r. 



By W. J. Rai\H(i\v, Entomologist 

 (Plates U, 15, 16.) 



The material enumerHled hereunder was collected bj Mr. 

 A. A. Girault in Nurthern Queeiishmd. By far the greater 

 bulk of the species was collected in the vicinity of Gordon- 

 lormerlj- known as Nelson. The Spiders are mostly 

 small, and of the arboreal t3'pe. This is what one 

 would naturally exi)ect Avhen the methods of collecting adopted 

 by Mr. Girault are considered, namely, "beating" and 

 "sweeping." There are, however, as will be seen by a 

 perusal of the contents of this pa[)er, a few terrestrial forms. 



lu such a mass of material as that collected by Mr. Girault, 

 and from a district so rich in individuals and species, it is 

 only natural that some novelties should occur, and so we find 

 it. These, which include new genera and new species, are in 

 addition to already recorded forms enumerated below. The 

 " Girault Collection," as this material may be called, include 

 one Isuiiietroides, one i'/ielifer, one JhoiipetrKS, one Trcnnbidiiim 

 and one liliivcolojthii-i, all of which are recorded in their proper 

 place.
