,4. ( Lijyaret nis ) hu/n/lis, Blanch. The species ti»at I 

 identify with this name is so identified in the Macleay 

 Museum, and is doubtless that described as humilis in Mac- 

 leay's Monograph. I have specimens from various localities 

 (from Sydney to tropical Queensland) in eastern Australia. 



A. ( Lijxii'ctrus ) unicolor, Masters. This was originally 

 described by Macleay as L. ronrolor (norn. prceocc). It is 

 found in the same localities as A. humilis, from which 1 can- 

 not distinguish it, except by colour and sexual characters, and 

 of w^hicli I have no doubt it is the female.

This species is readily distinguishable froin its con- 

 geners by the characters cited in the tabulation. As it is 

 uniqtie in my collection I cannot bring myself to sacrifice an 

 antenna for separate examination, but I am almost sure that 

 there are only three joints in the very short stipes.
