Locality: — Endeavour River, Queensland. The genus has 

 hitherto only been met with in India and in New Zealand. The 

 present locality lielps to bridge over the interval. 



We are indebted to Professor Spencer and Mr. C. French, 

 F.L.S., for the opportunity of naming this species. 



The type specimen is lodged in the National Museum, 

 Melbourne.
