EDUSA. 
The following species while certainly, I think, a member of the 
group Edusites, differs from typical members of the genus Edusa 
by its unusually narrow parallel form and its entirely glabrous 
upper surface. Five Edusoid genera have been recorded as 
Australian, viz., Edusa, Edusoides, Clepter, Thawmastomerus and 
Ocnida. The insect before me certainly cannot be attributed to 
the second or third of those genera,—but the last two do not 
appear to me to have been satisfactorily differentiated from 
Edusa. Thaumastomerus was unknown to Dr. Chapuis (as it is 
ts place in Zdusa which (as Dr. Chapius cogat it) included 
focis widely differing in superficial charact

In my tabulation of the species of rp (Tr. R. S., 8 SA, ane 
pp. 142-3) this insect falls beside glabra (at the end of the table) 
from which it may be thus distinguished :—

CC. Form narrowly parallel de sea on Ce 
I have seen four examples of this REN among which I find 
no a die: sexual To Probably they are all females.
