On the Pseiaphida of Australia, by the 

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



No. IV. 



[■Read 4th December, 1865.] 



In my first papei", published in the first part of your Transactions, 

 I gave a description of all the species known at the time 

 as occurring in Australia, including those which I had met 

 with in New South Wales, and those described by Westwood, 

 from Victoria, together with a single species from Tasmania, 

 described by Erichsen. In my second and third papers, I added 

 the new species which had been detected by various Entomolo- 

 gists in New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. It will be 

 convenient in this, my concluding paper, to bring together all the 

 species which have been described, with the addition of a few 

 new ones. I am the more desirous of doing this because it will 

 give me the opportunity of correcting errors into which I had 

 been in former eases betrayed by the scarcity of specimens. I 

 do not at all imagine that this family is even yet exhausted. 

 Indeed, I have every reason to believe that the case is just the 

 reverse. Yet even with the knowledge which we have at present, 

 it is evident that this interesting group is as largely represented 

 here as in any other country of which the Entomology is 

 more fully known. 



Tasmania is represented here by but a single species, Batrisiis 

 australis. Surely there must be many more which would reward 

 the careful observer. 



Genus I. Nakcodes. King. 



Both genus and species were described in Part I, pp. 38 — 39, 

 the female as N. varia, the male as N. pidchra. The relation of 

 the two sexes was at that time unknown. The following 

 amended description must therefore be substituted.
