 In a small collection received from the National iluseum, Melbourne, there was a species 

 agreeing with the diagnosis of this genus in that the abdomen was depressed from both dorsad 

 and ventrad, appearing membranous and as if crushed and pulled (like a normal abdomen 

 of a small locustid which had been nuich stretched by pulling and then ]iressed and allowed 

 to dry in that jiosition). Segment 2 of abdomen occupied over a third of the surface. The 

 cephalic femora were excised before tip, with a tubercle in the excision. Otherwise like 

 AgamerioueJIa but funicle 1 was more like a ring-.ioint. The distal two or three joints of 

 the antenna} were missing. Tlie species resembled AfiamrrioneUa locusliformis but the fuscous 

 spots on the fore wing were distiiu-t and umre continuous, forming a crescent. The legs 

 (except coxa=) and joints 2-4 of funicle red. rropodeum with a median carina. The label 

 was "No. 49. Nr. Melbourne." Tlie sex api'.-iicrif iy fenialc but i^cpt icnliy known
