Notes. — This species is nearly related to P. armata Tepper, from the Fraser 

 Range, West Australia, described in Trans. Roy. Sec. S. Aust. 1893, p. 84, and redes- 

 cribed and fig\ired by Shelford in Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1909, p. 273, PI. vii, figs. 8 

 and 9. It differs however from armata Tepp. in its smaller and narrower proportions, 

 darker colouring, and in several structural details, viz. : — The body is not scabrous ; 

 the lateral margins of the 6th and 7th tergites are not denticulate ; and in the absence 

 of a spine on the subgenital lamina at the base of the styles. x\lso the coxae are 

 bordered -with yellow, whilst those of armata are concolorous. In armata the ajiices 

 of the cerci, the styles, and the spines of the supra-anal lamina are about level, the 

 spines extending but slightly further backwards ; whilst in -subarmata the long 

 cerci and spines extend considerably beyond the styles. 



I have not yet seen the $ of this species, and of the three q known the supra- 

 anal lamina of one is abortive. 



The type was taken under the bark of a Euralupl'm sp. near Lnidley, Q. 



Genus CUTILIA StSl. 



CUTILIA NITIDELLA sp. nov. 



Dark castaneous to black, nitid, tergites finely punctate, with a sparse erect 

 pubescence. Margins ciliate. Head with the vertex and frons furnished with a few 

 erect hairs, castaneous, clypeus and labrum paler, ocelliform spots yellow, antennae 

 reddrsh brown with the second joint blackish. Tegmina vestigial, lateral margins 

 somewhat thickened and everted, apex obliquely truncate, densely punctate. The 

 tegminal punctures are much coarser than those of the tergites, and are coarser in 

 the $ than in the ,^. In colour the tegminal vestiges are paler than the mesonotum.
