Hah. Northern Territory: Darwin (W. K. Hnnt). 



The type is the only representative of this species before me. As in A. doris, 

 the eyes are large, the notoeephalon is narrow, and the pronotnm is short ; it 

 differs, however, in the wider sjmthlipsis, the markedly more robust form, the 

 much more expanded anterior tibiae of the male, etc. It resembles Distant 's 

 description and figure of A. cleopatra from New Caledonia, but in that species the 

 synthlipsis is "not more than half" as wide as the vertex and the size is smaller. 



ANISOPS GRATUS sp. nov. 



$ Head, including eyes, narrower than the pronotum ; notoeephalon with a 

 median groove, on each side of which is a slight swelling; synthlipsis little more 

 than 2 times in vertex, 5 times in the width of an eye. Pronotum almost one and 

 a half times wider than long, with scattered punctures and a median fovea; 

 posterior margin concavely incised, lateral margins divergent. Scutellum yellow, 

 shorter than the pronotum; wider than long. Legs slender; anterior thigh 1-3 

 times tarsus; longer claw 2-5 in tarsus. Length, 7 mm. to 8-5 mm. ; width, 2 mm. 

 or slightly more.

9 Synthlipsis 2-5 to 3 in vertex, 4 to 5 times in the width of an eye. Pro- 

 notum a little shorter than in male. Scutellum about same length as pronotum, 

 as wide as long. First joint of anterior tarsus almost twice as long as second; 

 claws shorter than in male. Length, 7 mm. to 9 mm.; width, 2 mm. to 2-5 mm.
