Tbe form of the rostrum is more like that of Bhinaria than 

 of Aterpes ; but its ocular lobes place it nearer the latter, the 

 extreme shortness of the metasternum differentiating it from 

 both. The eye is partially sunk in a little rounded cavity, and is 

 nearly covered in its ordinary position by the ocular lobe. The 

 species described below was found by Mr. Duboulay in bushes 

 on the Warren river. Western Australia.
