Adult female rich dark-brown, filling the whole of the test; concave 

 beneath with central depression on the back, corresponding with that on 

 the test. Antennae thick, conical, six-jointed; feet, very small; margins 

 of occid fringed with spines; abdominal cleft conspicuous. Length, about 

 1-4 inch. 



Female tests massed together all over the twigs and leaf stalks, with a 

 general appearance of little limpets, composed of light-brown semi-trans- 

 parent glassy plates, very finely striated, foiming a conical stiuctme in two 

 sections, fitting close together, but easily separated. At the apex is a narrow, 

 keyhole-like, deep depression or pit, in both sections, causing the apex of 

 each test to become truncated. Length, rV inch. Specimens from Western 

 Australia are much larger. 



Male tests of a similar structure, but more elongate, smaller, not impressed 

 at the apex, which is truncated and furnished with a hinged plate, by means 

 of which the imprisoned male is able to emerge when he reaches maturity.

This species was described from specimens obtained on an imdetermined 

 species of Acacia at the Darling Range, Western Australia (Lea) ; others were 

 collected on a polygonum {Muhlenbeckia adpressa), Murray River, Victoria 

 (French). I have taken it upon an imdetermined shrub, near Warialda^ 

 New South Wales. Maskell described the Victorian specimens under the 

 varietal name of major, the chief difference being the larger size and green 

 tint. 



Adult female, dark, glossy brown; general foim, conical, margins slightly 

 flattened; antennae and feet absent; abdominal cleft wide and narrow, the 

 margin of the bod}' with minute spines. 



The female test is formed in a similar manner to that of the previous species 

 though more deeply and broadly impressed at the apex; more cone-shaped, 

 and not so much divided at the apex as shoAvn in Maskell's plate. General 

 colour yellowish brown, with the margins glassy. Length, y inch ; width, 

 J inch; height, i inch. 



Maskell says : " This species is allied to I. foraminifer, but diffeis in the 

 form of the test, in the absence of feet and antennse, and in other particulars. 

 It is viviparous, the female being usually full of larvse."
