Two specimens very different in clothing; on one the scales 
are uniformly muddy brown, on the other brown mottled with 
slaty or greenish-grey ; they bear a strong general resemblance 
to many species of Leptops. 
SUB-FAMILY AMYCTERIDES. 
Whilst in Sydney recently I examined some of the specimens 
of this sub-family in the Macleay and Sydney Museums. Un- 
fortunately, the late Sir William Macleay seldom, if ever, 
designated his type specimens, so that it is impossible to tell 
(by the label) when the species is named in both museums, 
which specimens were his types. Mr. Masters, however, tells 
me that the majority of them are in the Macleay Museum. A 
number of the species are referred to wrong genera, but I had 
not sufficient time to spare to go thoroughly into the ques- 
tion. The following notes, however, were made: — 
PSALIDURA. 
Mr. Masters believes that this genus does not occur in W. 
Australia, and such is my own conviction. P. mira was re- 
corded from the Swan River by Sir William from a specimen 
so labelled in W. Sharp Macleay's collection. In the Macleay 
Museum are a number of duplicates of the species, so many 
that did the species occur in W. Australia I think that Mas- 
ters, Brewer, Duboulay, or myself should have taken it. 
Sir William appears to have regarded the presence of ex- 
ternal anal forceps as an essential feature of the male in 
Psalidura. This supposition I am not willing to admit. I 
believe that the following species referred by him to Talau- 
rimus belong to Psalidura:—Penicillatus, Macl.; Riverine, 
Macl.; erasperatus, Er.; and the species he has identified as 
morbillosus, Boi., and tomentosus, Boi., in all of which the 
apical segment of the abdomen is largely transversely exca- 
vated, and which have (more or less hidden) anal appen- 
dages. 
TALAURINUS CAMDENENSIS, Macl. 
T. Murrumbidgensis, rudis, salebrosus, and rugosus, Macl., 
all belong to this species, as also do the specimens labelled 
Westwoodi, Sch., in the Macleay Museum. 
TALAURINUS EXCAVATUS, Sch. 
The specimen so labelled in the Macleay Museum is identi- 
cal with the one labelled rugifer, Boi. The locality, "Swan 
River,” for the latter, is in all probability erroneous. It 
does not follow, however, that these names are synonymous. 
TALAURINUS SIMILLIMUS, Macl., and T. FOVEATUS, Мао]. 
These names appear to be synonymous.
