ochraceous colour adoi-ns the dorsal part of tlie body, from the 

 second to about the fifteenth segment; besides, the metazonites 

 are marked between the poi'es with longitudinal black strokes, 

 more dull on the posterior darker half of the body than on 

 tlie lighter anterior half; these strokes are in connection with 

 the sulci of the metazonites. Legs bi-ight ochre-yellow. 



Head strongly shining, as if varnished. Median sulcus weak 

 scarcely inter-rupted between the antennae. Ocelli disposed in 

 seven rows (6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 6+5+2 -= 40 or 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 6 

 + 4+3 = 41). Micrometrical measurements of antennal 

 joints : — 1st joint 0.608 m/m ; 2nd, 0.736 m/m ; 3rd, 0.608 

 m/m; 4th, 0.544 m/m ; 5th, 0.544 m/m; 6th, 0.592 m/m ; 7th 

 and 8th, 0.080 m/m ; total length 3.712 m/m. Diameter of 

 ■Jnd joint, 0.464 m/ni ; of 6tli, 0.480 m/m. 



Sides of the first segment without secondary sulcus above 

 the marginal sulcus. 



Grooves on the eighteenth segment thirteen in number 

 (instead of fifteen).

 one segment apodous ; 95 pair of legs. 



The absence of males prevents lis from ascertaining the sys- 

 tematic position of this species. The shape of the first seg- 

 ment is similar to that of SpirostropJiiis dlyitidiis. The 

 prozonite shows transverse strice instead of punctures. Scobiuas 

 absent. The tiny pores are located on the limit between pro- 

 and the metazonite ; but as the suture is indistinct and the 

 metazonite extremely short, it seems that the pores open in 

 the metazonite. The pores start from the sixth segment. The 

 valves are prominent, globular, without any trace of pre- 

 marginal depression. 



The most interesting featui-e is the existence of 4 + 4 seti- 

 ferous dimples on the upper lip, a character which agrees with 

 none of the genera here record'ed. 



Three female specimens (of which only one adult) from 

 Newcastle, Xew South Wales, and Queensland.
