Females and males from the summit of Mt. AVellington, 

 Tasmania. 



I believe these specimens are INlacquart's species, the type 

 of which was examined by me at Lille in 1906, and the 

 following note made of it : — '' Palpi with the first joint 

 short, the second long, flattened at base, broad, ending in 

 a fine |)oint. Subcallus fulvous, forehead darker. Thorax 

 bhickish, with yellowish tomentura ; this describes it better 

 than iMacquart's remarks, the stripes he speaks of consist 

 of pubescence, sides with yellow pubescence ; the other 

 details of his description are correct.^' 



Ttiis species is very probibly identical with Diatomineura 

 cunstaiiSj Walker, as suggested by Mr. WHiite.
