into a process which is about one-fourth the length of the segment ; 

 4th leg smooth. 



Measurements in mm. : — $ . Length of carapace 2 ; of basal 

 segment of mandible 6, second segment 7. 



Loc. Macedon, in Victoria {H. R. Hogg). 



The male specimen, which is unfoi-tunately somewhat damaged, 

 difiers from that of the type of M. serritarsus (Sorensen) in the 

 smaller size of the patellar apophysis of the palp. 



Genus Pantopsalis Sim. 



Paxtopsalis albipalpis, sp. n. 



c? . Colour a tolerably iTuiform brown ; palpi pale yellowish 

 white. 



Carapace with a few small spicules in front of the tubercle, 

 and a few on the posterior slope of the latter. 



Mandibles twice as long as the carapace, slender except for 

 the club-like expansion of the distal end of the 2nd segment ; 

 spicular and tubei'cular all over. Palpi unarmed, patella and tibia 

 subequal. Legs with ti-ochanters unarmed ; femora sparsely and 

 weakly spicular, remaining segments iinarmed except for some 

 terminal spicules above on the patella). 



Measurements in mm. : — Length of carapace 2*5 ; length of 

 basal segment of mandible 11 '5, distal segment 13. 



Loc. New Zealand : Maungatua, S. of Dunedin {J. Y.

Whether or not this species is based on the male of P. listeri 

 White (P. Z. S. 1849, p. 6, and Simon, OR. Soc. Ent. Belg. xxii. 

 p. Ixxiii, 1879) from the Middle Island, New Zealand, I am unable 

 to say. The British Museum has two examples that I refer to 

 P. listeri White, ticketed New Zealand (' Samarang '), and Grey- 

 mouth, N. Zealand. In both, as in P. albipalpis, the palpi are pale 

 as described by Simon, and the mandibles are much shorter and 

 thicker than in the type of P. albipalpis. I infer that these 

 examples are females on account of the resemblance in the 

 structure of the mandible that they present to the female speci- 

 men referred to below as the female of P. nigripalpis. 



Pantopsalis kigripalpis, sp. n. (Typical form.) 



(^ . Colour deep blackish brown ; palpi as dai-k as the legs. 

 Further differing from the preceding species in having the terminal 

 portion of the second segment of the mandibles much less clavate, 

 and the tubercles on the mandibles fewer and sharper. 



Measurements in mm. : — Length of carapace 2 ; 1st segment of 

 mandible 9, 2nd 10.
