Hah. Eastern New South Wales. 



Type in collection. 



The typical specimen of this rare species is so old that its teeth 

 are all worn down, and quite useless for description ; but I have 

 had the advantage of the loan of two fine specimens from Illawarra, 

 near Sydney, belonging to the Free Public Museum at Liverpool, to 

 the authorities of which I am exceedingly indebted*, as without these 

 specimens it would have been impossible to obtain a proper idea of 

 the characters of M. parma.
