thorax^ic foveae and depressions are well developed the male 

 will possess these characters in a more modified degree. As 

 would be expected in a new country, new genera have been 

 found, but not to a surprising extent, and to confirm the new 

 segregates in some instances more than one species thereof have 

 been found. When the Papuan forms are made known, it is 

 suggested that their relationship with the Australian forms 

 will be found very close, and it is not unlikely that a few of 

 the mainland species will be identical with forms from that 

 island.
