and romuletl end. 'V\\e coxal expansions (rax.) remain com- 

 pletely exposed ; tliey are cut oft' at riglit aiij?Ies distally and 

 fall short of the summit of the ventral plate. I'roximal 

 eiidoskeletic* process (rak.) long, spahilate. Femui' (Fi'm.) 

 wide ; tibia (T.) in a line with the femur, short, conic, with a 

 transverse undulate fold in the middle of the posterior surface 

 ('I, PI. xvi., fig. 41), and a sub-quadrangular apical plate with 

 rounded angles, about half as long as the stem of the tibia ; 

 the apical ]>lates I'each with all their length beyond the apex 

 of the ventral plate. Posterior basal plate (r. 2.) very nai-row, 

 linguifoi-m. twice as long as bi-oad, with rounded a])ex. 



Posterioi' gonopods (PI. xvi., Hy. 4<"J) two-jointed. Proximal 

 joint comparatively long; tr-acheal stalk long and slender. 

 Second joint arched, oval in section in its basal two thirds, 

 lamellar distally, the lamellar |)art being scarcely enlarged 

 proximad and gradually tapering endwards. A short, sti-aight, 

 acute, inner branch is seen to start immediately above the 

 rounded expansion of the base of the joint. The seminal duct 

 seems to end at the root of the inner branch. 



The female specimen shows scobinas from the ninth to the 

 twenty-foui'th zonite ; the diin])les are as wide apart as in the 

 male, but the small dimples are a trifle more crescentic. The 

 ocelli stand in five rows (9-|- lO-|-9-(-8-p5 = 41) on one side 

 and six rows (94-9+9 + ^+^+^ = ^6) ^^^ tlie other. The 

 anal sternite is uot as neatly triangular, the apex is rounded, 

 as if worn off. Colour, chestnut as in the male. 



One more female specimen exists in the Australian Museum, 

 collected at the same locality, (Tayndah, Queensland. 



2 mat.: length 72 m/in; diameter 7.50 m/m; 54 segments; 

 one apodous ; 101 pair of legs. It has a uniform greenish- 

 black colour. The face is slightly wrinkled; the median sulcus 

 is more distinct especially between the eyes whei-e it is 

 impressed. The eyes are composed of forty-tive ocelli 

 arranged in six rows (9+9 + 9 + 8 + 6 + 4— 9+94-9 + 8 + 7^ ). 

 Scobinas up to the twenty-fifth segment, punctiform as in the 

 male. Anal sternite triangular (not worn out).
