  We 
  have 
  here 
  another 
  interesting 
  genus 
  of 
  which 
  the 
  species 
  

   are 
  natives 
  both 
  of 
  Australia 
  and 
  the 
  New 
  World 
  ; 
  those 
  however 
  

   which 
  inhabit 
  New 
  Holland 
  have 
  been 
  formed 
  by 
  M. 
  Guerin 
  

   Meneville, 
  in 
  his 
  Monograph 
  of 
  the 
  genus, 
  (Sp.

   Artie,

  into 
  two 
  sections, 
  apart 
  from 
  those 
  of 
  America.

  large, 
  and 
  the 
  tarsi 
  with 
  subelongated 
  

   joints, 
  the 
  last 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  maxillary 
  palpi 
  truncated, 
  and 
  the 
  

   lamellae 
  of 
  the 
  basal 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  tarsi 
  much 
  smaller 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  

   the 
  three 
  following
