We cannot discover either a description of L. inalvinensis 

 or authority for the appelhition, and therefore conjecture it 

 to be a mere nomeii nudum. The specimens from the localities 

 above quoted are small, few, and sometimes distorted ; we 

 are not quite sure, therefore, whether they have been dis- 

 tinguished aright. L. cuneata, Gray [Osteodesma, Desh.), 

 was reported from Port Stanley, East Falldands, on stranded 

 roots of Macroci/stis, by the Scottish National Antarctic 

 Expedition (1902-1905).

Stenotritus elegans, Smith, variety a. 



A female from Tennant's Creek, Central Australia [Field; 

 Nat. Mns. Victoria, 46), has apparently been in alcohol, and 

 the pubescence is in bad condition. So far as can be made 

 out, there is no fuscoiis hair on the thorax above, and no 

 black hair on the abdomen. The mcsotiiorax shows olivc- 

 j^rcen tints in fr(mt. 'J'iie first r. n. joins the second s.m. a 

 little before the middle, instead of a little beyond as in 

 Smith's type of .S'. eletjans. Possibly this is a distinct 

 species, but it cannot be satisfactorily separated without 

 better material.
