One female sent by Mr. Dove from Table Cape, Tasmania. 
It may be worth noting that this Tasmanian species conforms to 
the type of three species of my Venator class from Macedon, 
40 miles north of Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. It was at Macedon 
that I discovered a species of Peripatus new to Victoria, which 
subsequently turned out to be the normal Tasmanian species. 
Lycosa PHYLLIS, sp.n. (Text-fig. 81, p. 574.) 
Cephalothorax dark brown, with chestnut-brown downlying 
hair. No distinctly marked median or marginal stripes, but the 
hair is rather thicker there. The side streaks nearly bave, 
showing the under surface. : 
Mandibles black-brown, covered all over with thick matted 
buff-coloured hair. 
Lip, maxille, sternum, and coxe dark reddish-brown with 
brown hairs, the sternum thickly matted. 
The abdomen on the upper side has a dark brown hair-pattern 
of usual type on paler ground. Angular transverse stripes, six or 
seven in number, with pale spots at each end. The sides pale 
yellow-brown ; on the under side a broad shield-shape black-brown 
field extends from the genital fovea nearly to the spinnerets, 
where the buff ground of the sides comes across. Anteriorly of 
the genital fovea clearly paler than the field, but still dark brown. 
Spinnerets dark brown. 
The legs and palpi are of a medium yellow-brown; the under 
side of the femora more red-brown. 
The cephalic fovea is short and shallow. 
The eyes of the front row are ,one-half the diameter of the 
median apart, and the same distance from the margin of the 
clypeus and those of the second row. ‘The laterals are three- 
fourths the diameter of the median; whole row slightly procurved. 
The eyes of the second row are distant from one another four- 
fifths of their diameter, which is 23 times that of the front median. 
The mandibles are longer than the front patella. There are
