Some Land Flanarians from Queensland. 125 



half-way between the peripharyngeal and the posterior 

 extremity. The eyes are not very numei'ous, in two 

 patches one on each side of the anterior end of the body and 

 continued in close-set single series all round the anterior 

 margin. The predominant tint of the dorsal surftice varies 

 from green or violet to lich reddish-brown or brownish-red. 

 Running down the mid-doisal line is a very narrow strij)e of 

 briuht yellow. On each side of this is a slightly broader 

 stripe of dark brown, whose outer edge is ill-defined. Then 

 a still slightly broader stripe of bright yellow with a few 

 very minute Hecks of brown. Then a very broad, dark band 

 of the predominant tint, most commonly dark greenish-brown 

 or grey, almost black, gradually foding outwards into a 

 narrow b;nid of pale greyish or greenish-blue. Then a 

 narrow stri|)e of a very dai-k brownish colour only slightly 

 wider than the narrow blue band, and, lastly, another 

 narrow blue band but wider than the fiist and extending to 

 the majgin of the ventral surfa3e. The anterior extremity 

 is pinkish. In the mid-ventral line there is a rather narrow, 

 almost white band gradually merging on each side into a 

 pale purplish-grey band which, in turn, gradually merges 

 into the pale gieenish-blue band at the maigin of the dorsal 

 surface. 



All things considered, I have little hesitation in identify- 

 ing this species with Messrs. Fletcher and Hamilton's G. 

 V(irip(jatu, especially as the latter appears to vary somewhat 

 in tint. As this very handsome species has not before been 

 figured of the natural colours, I have thought it desiral)le to 

 do so now.

3. G(opl(tna minor, n. sp. 



Body at rest much flattened ; when crawling very long 

 and narrow, nearly cylindrical, ta])ering very gradually in 

 front and more suddenly behind, and measuring only about 

 18 mm. ill length by 1 nnn. in greatest breadth. The pwi- 

 pharyngeal iiperture (in spirit) is situate in about the middle 

 of the ventral surface and the genital aperture about half 

 way between it and the posterior end. The eyes are not 

 very numerous, arranged in a single row at the sides of the 

 head-end and all round the anteiior margin, and also very 

 sparingly down the sides of the body to the posterior
