AUSTRALIAN BLATTlDJi.— ELAND SHAW. 167 



Length. — 45 mm. 



Type.— CoU. Aiiot. (No. 89). 



Habitat.— Queensland : " The Tableland " behind Cooktown, elevation 1,6(X) ft., 

 2 ^, 1 larval ,^, 3 larval $, July 1916 (Mr. T. G. Sloane). 



Notes. — I have named this fine species after Mr. T. G. Sloane, its discoverer, 

 who kindly presented me with the si.x specimens captured by him " in damp scrub, 

 feeding on the decaying trunks of large softwood trees." The specimen from wliich 

 Fig. 16 was drawTi has one more denticulation of the supra-anal lamina than the type. 

 There is a single <J in the Queensland Museum without a locality label. 



PANE3THIA TRYONI sp. nov. 

 Large, apterous, piceous, differs from the preceding species in the following 

 structural details : — The emargination of the anterior border of the pronotum is 

 narrow and angular ; the excavation of the disc is less pronounced, and the large 

 posterior diverticulum is narrower, and connected with the transverse furrow behind 

 by a shallow depression ; the transverse furrow is much more pronounced. The pro- 

 notum of the $ is similar in form to that of the ^^. Supra-anal lamina (Text-fig. 17) 



Text-fig. 17. — Paneathia tryoni J. 

 Supraanrtl lamina X fi. (Drawn from Spm. No. 121, Coll. .\uct.) 



with its posterior margin bhuitly and unevenly crenulate. Legs with the extremities 

 of the coxae, the whole of the trochanters, the femoro-tibial articulations, the 

 extremities of the last tarsal joints, and the claws rufo-castaneous. Anterior femora 

 1 or 2 spinose. 



Length. — (J 45 mm., $ 48 mm. 



Types.— ^ and ?, Coll. Auct. (^ No. 91, ? No. 92). 



Habitat. — -Queensland : National Park, Lamington Plateau, elevation 3,000 ft. 

 (H. Tryon, Jan. 1917) ; Montville, Blackall Range, elevation 1,600 ft. (H. Tryon), 

 (Q. Miis.). 



Notes. — In Jan. 1917 Mr. Tryon captured 2 cJ, 2 $, 2 larval ^, and 1 larval $ 

 specimens on the Lamington Plateau, and it gives me much pleasure to name the 

 species after this distinguished entomologi.st. One $ labelled " Montville April 1915 " 

 was handed to me for determination by the Queensland Museum, and quite recently 

 Mr. Tryon captured several specimens in the same locality. Like P. sloanei this 

 species seems to occur at considerable altitudes. Beyond their difference of colour 

 the two species may be at once distinguished by the form of the supra-anal lamina.
