On the Pselaphidae of Australia, by the 

 Rev. R. L. King, B.A. 



2nd Paper. 

 [Read 7th September, 1863.] 



In the paper on this subject, which I had the honour to read before 

 the Society in K"ovember last, there was an unfortunate mistake 

 which I did not discover until it had been printed in the first 

 Part of the Transactions. The new species described by myself 

 are all stated at twice their proper size. 



From subsequent observations, I am of opinion that the 

 species described as TmesipJwrus hespcri is the female form of 

 T. vernalis. I propose to retain the latter name, and to supply 

 the following amended description. 



Tmesiphorus vernalis. 



Castaneus, elytris pallidioribus : thorace ad basin depresso, 

 lateribus antice contractis postice subparallelis ; abdomine 

 marginato. 

 Mas : — antennarum articulis 4 ultimis elongatis. 

 Femina : — antennarum articulo ultimo 2^"' precedentibus lon- 



giori. 

 Long. ^. 

 Paramatta. 

 The male is slightly larger than the female. 

 Since my former paper was written, the female of Tmesiphoriis 

 MacLeayii has been found by W. MacLeay, Esq., and also by Mr. 

 Masters. This enables me to amend my description of that fine 

 species, of which I had previously only seen the male form. 



Tmesiphorus MacLeayii. 



Ferrugineus vel piceo-castaneus ; antennarum maris articulis 

 9 et 11 longitudine suboequalibus, feminge antennarum 

 clava 3-articulata articulo ultimo majori ; thorace obcor-
