Including a new one the genera known to me < 32 ) may be 

 thus tabulated : — 



With infra-ocular lobes. 



Seventh joint of funicle subadnate to 



club Ophryota 



Seventh joint distinctly separated from 



club Zephryne 



Without infra-ocular lobes. 



Claws not widely separated at apex ... Platypterocis 

 Claws widely separated at apex. 



Seventh joint of funicle subadnate to 



club Aparete 



Seventh joint distinctly separated 



from club Ethemaia 



Zephryne (1869). 



Hyphceria (1883). 



Myarada (1883) (?) 



The difficulty of dealing with many of the genera pro- 

 posed by Mr. Pascoe, unless the typical species of such genera 

 are actually known, has been rather frequently commented 

 upon. I have just been enabled to identify the typical species 

 of Zephryne (sordida),^) and find that it is quite evidently 

 congeneric with the typical species of Hyphceria (assimilis) A 3 ® 

 The tarsi of the former were described as having the third 

 joint "vix lobato" ; that of the latter as "integro." In each, 

 however, the third, although not wider than the second, is 

 slightly bilobed. In Ethemaia the third is usually distinctly 

 wider than the second and more deeply bilobed. 



Z. sordida has a distinct subtubercular lobe below each 

 eye, although it was not mentioned in the original descrip- 

 tion. In H. assimilis, however, such a lobe was mentioned. 

 Hyphceria was briefly compared with Ethemaia, and even 

 referred to a different subfamily to that of Zephryne. The 

 essential features of the genus are: — Head wide, flat or 



(32) As I am unacquainted with the typical species of Medicasta 

 and Myarda, these genera were not included in the table. There 

 is at least another genus belonging to the group, characterized by 

 a short broad subtriangular rostrum and very prominent eyes; 

 but its only representative before me is badly (abraded and very 

 dirty. 



(33) Specimens in the Museum are from Lyndoch and Monarto. 



(34) This species is widely distributed in Australia, but there 

 are some Gayndah specimens (practically co-types as they were 

 received from the Australian Museum, Sj'dney) before me.
