*C'lavi(/eropsis Austrcdine, Lea. 



A second female of this species was taken under a stone, from a 

 nest of Iridoinyriutr yrarilix at the side of the George's River at 

 Glenfield (New South Wales). 



Mr. Cox has also taken the species in the Illawarra district. And 

 there is a specimen in the British Museum labelled as from Queensland.

SCYUMAENIDAE. 

 Sri/diiiacnus i/npdi'idu'i, n.sp. 



Bright castaiieous, head and jjrothorax somewhat darker than else- 

 where, palpi and tarsi fiavous. Upper surface glabrous except for 

 some sparse clothing at sides of prothorax and a fascicle on each side 

 of base of head. 



Head moderately transverse, not bilobed between antennae. Eyes 

 very small and not prominent. Antennae rather long and thin, 

 second joint longer than third, seventh slightly longer than sixth ; 

 club four-jointed, eighth joint not much longer, but about twice the 

 width of seventh. Protliora r slightly longer than wide ; base with 

 three shallow foveate impressions, all connected by a shallow depres- 

 sion. Eh/tra at base no wider than base of prothorax, somewhat 

 ol)li(luely dilated to the middle (where the width is twice that of the 

 prothorax), thence rounded to apex. Li'ys rather long and thin; 

 hind coxae rather distant. Length 1^' mm. 



H(d). — South Australia: Port Lincoln (J. J. Walker). 



The type was given to me by Mr. C. French, as having been taken 

 by Commander Walker, from- the nest of a short, thick, stinging ant.i 



The antennae are rather longer than in the following species, and 

 in others liaving the elytra glabrous, the size is larger, and the 

 elytra are more strongly narrowed to the base, so that their middle 

 is aVjout twice the width of their base. 



On close examination a few minute setae may be seen towards the 

 base of the elytra, but they are so few and indistinct that I think 

 the elytra could cpiite fairly be regarded as glabrous.
