Ceronema aindata, n.sp. (Fig. 3). 



Tnis species has been obtained by me on several occasions in the foliage of 

 Eucalyptus robnsta at Thirroul on the South Coast, and at Lake Toronto, 

 near Newcastle. The felted se- 

 cretionary covering is nmch more 

 abundant than in C. hankske, the 

 strands, thickened and well de- 

 fined, curling round on either side 

 and at the anal extremity, forming 

 regular curled strands, two of 

 which curving outward coalesce 

 and turning back merge into the 

 other mass forming a curled tail 

 like the handle of a teapot. The 

 filamentous strands are so thick 

 on the dorsal surface that they 

 almost touch down the centre of 

 the back, and the regular parting 

 is indistinct.
