This species apparently resembles the preceding, but indepen- 

 dent of smaller size, the pale coxae and the smooth semilunar 

 band of the dorsal segments induce me to consider it of specific 

 rank, the above being such conspicuous characters, that Brunner 

 would certainly not have overlooked or failed to record them if 

 they had deen present in his specimens. The insects hunt on 

 Eucalyptus shrubs, in bright, hot sunshine, and are very rapid in 

 their movements.

I have not yet seen the species, of which the above is the un- 

 abridged original description, but it appears to belong to this 

 genus without doubt. 



The following species, except one, are all described by 

 Saussure in the ^^ Revue et Magazi^ie de Zoologie,'' October, 1864, 

 and are recorded from " Australia " (most likely the coasts of 

 Eastern Australia). Although inserted here, they may all or 

 the greater number have to be removed to Flatyzosteria.
