having six setae in the anterodorsal row on the metatarsus of the last 

 legs instead of four and in the character of the daws. The anterior 

 accessory daw is longer proportionately to the principal one and the 

 anterior seta is well developed, equalling the accessory claw in length. 

 Posterior exopods well developed, in length somewhat exceeding the 



depth of the tarsi. Cerci slender, about 5.5 times longer than the 

 greatest depth and thus much more slender than in the Australian 

 species //. indecisa (Attems), the cerci of the latter differing also in the 

 much fewer setae. Setae numerous, the distal ones clearly exceeding 

 the diameter of cercus at their level.

Tasmaniella, gen. nov. 



A genus like Neoscutigerella and Hanseniella (Journ. Linn. soc. 

 London. Zool., 1914, 32, p. 197) in having no median excavation in the 

 caudal border of the last plate and thus standing apart from Scuti- 

 gerella proper. It is like Neoscutigerella in having the setae of the 

 dorsal scuta of a special type; but differs clearly, e. g. t in having these 

 much larger, rod-like but narrowing toward base, those in a series 

 across the caudal border much exceeding the others in length; all 

 directed caudad. On the first three plates an especially long tapering 

 seta arising at each caudal corner and extending dorsad and somewhat 

 forward, a corresponding one on fourth tergite smaller. Last tergite 

 with a pit-like depression on the median part of caudal border.

Type.— M. C. Z. 2,053, Tasmania (G. H. Hardy). 



Setae of inner surface of all joints of antennae directed obliquely 

 forward, of ordinary length. Setae of middle whorl of articles of 

 antennae of same length above and below. Setae of head much finer
