A very common species in sandy districts.

Subfamily Labrinj!. 

 Genus Laeea, Fabr. 



Three species which may be referable to this genus have 

 been taken in Tasmania, but of tiiese I have only taken one 

 myself, which I identify with much doubt as Tachytes 

 australis, Sauss. One only of Saussure's species can be 

 identified with any certainty, L. femorata, Sauss., a species 

 with ferruginous legs.
