1 22 MR. H. R. HOGG OX AUSTRALIAN SPIDERS. [June 3, 



;in almost continuous series, I have reunited Mr. Pocock's genus 

 with its parent. 



From Tasmania we have tAvo females of the subfamilj' Mlgince, 

 which has hithei-to comprised in its group Migece only two genera : 

 Migas L. Koch, from New Zealand, and Moggridgea Sim., fi-om 

 South Africa. From both of the above these specimens differ 

 essentially, and I have therefore constituted for them a new genus 

 Heteromigas. 



Of Barychelince there are no fresh specimens. 



Of Avicidarince one male and six females confirm oui- pi'evious 

 knowledge of Selenocosmia stirlingi Hogg, and I note below a few 

 additional particulars. The male from Cockbuiii and two females 

 fx-om Broken Hill extend the known southern limit of this species 

 to lat. 32° S. From Palmei'ston, in the Northern Territoiy, is a very 

 fine specimen, having miich in common with the above, but with 

 a recurved instead of procurved thoracic forea. This has always 

 been looked upon as a point of great persistence and of undoubted 

 geneiic importance. 1 have therefore constituted foi' it a new 

 genus, Selenotholus. A broken specimen included with these is 

 marked Australia only. It belongs to the gi-oup Euryjyehnatecje, 

 known only fi-om S. Ameiica, and as the oiigin is not authenticated 

 it is moi'e probable that it has been imported from there than 

 really found indigenous in Australia. 



The Diplurince are represented by specimens from numerous 

 new localities, notably by examples of my genus Chenistonia, 

 among which is a well-marked new species. A single male shows 

 in an interesting manner the peculiar median tibial spur which 

 has been the unique distinguishing characteristic of this genus ; but 

 it difiei'S from it in having a strongly procuived thoracic fovea 

 and posterior sternal sigilla away from the margin, with other 

 differences looked on as generic chaiacteis, and I have accordingly 

 tlius distinguished it as the type species of a genus Dekana. 



Five females from the Adelaide Hills, though lighter in coloui', 

 are, without the male, specifically undistinguishable from my 

 Victorian species, Chenistonia maculata, from Macedon. 



From Tasmania is a new species in the genus Aname L. Koch. 



The Rev. O. P. Cambridge very kindly placed at my disposal 

 a specimen (female), received by him from Sydney, of the 

 group Atracece in the above subfamily. This, though somewhat 

 paler than his description, is with little doubt L. Koch's 

 Hadronyche cerherea, also fi-om Sydney, but the type specimen of 

 the species not being available it is not certainly known. 



The comparison enables me to assure myself that the male I 

 had previously recorded from Macedon, Victoria, and thought 

 might be the unknown male of this species, is certainly not 

 the same. I thei-efore record the latter now as a new species, 

 Hadronyclie meridiana. The description appears in the above- 

 mentioned paper {Log. cit. p. 274). 



Out of 40 specimens sent me in this siiborder, comprising 

 examples of nine genera and eleven species, mostly from new
