segments. Antennse S ll-jointed, the apical ones very 

 small and sunk in the eighth. 



Lengtli, ? , 9-11 mm. 



The yellow bands become o£ a darker sliade ba?ally, but 

 are not conspicuously bicolorous, as in P. vufpinus &c. 



This species closely resembles F. parca, buf, apart from 

 colour, it lacks the very long hairs of the second abdominal 

 segment. I originally described it from 2 ($ (^ from Free- 

 mantle, from which the single (^ from Yallingup differs in 

 small detail'^.

Paralastor suhpunctulatus, sp. n. 



Clypeus of S yellow, of ? black with a transverse, basal, 

 large yellow spot, which is usually, but not always, luniilate. 

 Scape of antennae in both sexes black, the medio-frontal spot 

 absent. Tegulse dark, sometimes with a testaceous spot or 

 suffused with brown, but without yellow markings. 8cu- 

 tellar spots generally larger in the ? than in the ^ . Legs 

 generally black or dark. 



Clypeus in ^ either truncate or very feebly emarginate at 

 the apex, in the ? truncate, shining. Antennfe of ^ with 

 twelve distinct joints, the four apical ones curved into a hook, 

 and, if straightened out, together as long as the eighth. In 

 sculpture of head and thorax &c. and in general structure 

 this form differs very little from P. pimctulatus, Sauss., of 

 Tasmania and the mountains of New South Wales, but is 

 very distinct in appearance by the yellow (not nearly white) 

 bands and spots, and the first abdominal band is considerably 

 wider. The puncturation of its basal abdominal segment is 

 also evidently more dense and serves to distinguish the two. 

 In some details of structure and sculpture both vaiy in 

 exactly the same manner. 



Length 10-12 mm.

Most of the specimens are considerably abraded, but they 

 bear a long thin pubescence as in P. pmictulatus. 



Paralastor neocliromus, sp. n. 



Clypeus of (^ yellow, with a median black spot extending 

 to the apical margin, so tiiat the yellow colour in the middle 

 line is very slightly interrnpted there, the raised margin
