Habitat.—South Australia: Vicinity of Adelaide (Coll. S.A. 
Museum). Melbourne (Brunner). 
The two specimens in the South Australian Museum are doubt- 
fully included in this species as a variety. The bracketted parts 
of the above description denote the differences. Some ova were 
obtained from one specimen. They are brown, elongate-elliptical, 
4-5mm. long by 1:3 mm. wide, and ornamented by regularly 
arranged microscopical impressions.
