Perhaps the creature described by Montroiisier, 18G4, 
p, 272, under the name of Glididuvct gmiculata, from New 
Caledonia, is to be referred here. De Bormans’ collection 
contained a specimen, now in the British Museum, from 
New Caledonia, which is decidedly a Brachylabid. The 
antennae are missing, and the specimen is a female; but 
the eyes are normal, and the keels of the mesonotum are 
very sharp and distinct. The pronotum is a little longer 
than broad. It is described by de Bormans, 1000^, p. 54. 
Genus 8.—Nannisolabis, Burr. 
Nannisolahis, Burr, 1910b p. 106. 
I erected this genus for two Cingalese species which 
have normal, small, anterior eyes and globular antennal 
segments. The mesonotum has in its anterior portion a 
transverse depression which is bounded by a raised tumid 
ridge. Though somewhat compressed at the shoulders, 
this ridge is not sharp.* 
In the globular antennal segments and non-keeled 
mesonotum it approaches Le^ytisolahis, but differs in the 
normal eyes. 
The type of the genus is Nannisolahis loilleyi, Burr, the 
other species being N. idiiktas. Burr, 1901, p. 322, PI. VIII, 
fig. 7. The figure shows the peculiarities referred to. 
Unfortunately, of the original pair of this latter species, 
owing to an accident, all that is left is the head and thorax 
of the male, but this, with the original description and 
figure, is enough to allow its position being satisfactorily 
determined. 
I place here also, provisionally, a very distinct new 
species from Australia.
