154 A NEW SPECIES OF PAUROPUS FROM VICTORIA 
prominent as the protuberances that have been figured here for some species of 
Pauropus. The setae are all cylindrical, ending bluntly. The lateral and inter- 
mediate tergal setae are about equal in length, and about twice the length of the 
submedian setae. The distance between the two submedian setae is about the 
same as the distance between the submedian and intermediate setae and is about 
three times the distance between the intermediate and lateral setae. 
Of the sternal setae the posterior are much the largest, and are about twice the 
length of the anterior tergal setae; the lateral sternal setae measure about the 
same length as the lateral tergal setae (fig. 3B). 
The “anal plate” (fig. 3C) measures about ‘025 mm. in length, and is furnished 
with four processes lying in the same plane. The median cleft, which extends

almost to the base of the plate, has a rounded ending. The two diverging outer 
processes curve inwards a little, and taper each to a point. The inner processes 
are rather thicker at the base; their distal end tapers into a narrow separately 
articulated and apparently very faintly pubescent segment. 
The “styles” are thinner than the outer processes of the “anal plate,” and are 
a little shorter than the submedian setae. 
Legs (fig. 4). Like the dorsal shields these are completely free from pubescence. 
They increase considerably in length posteriorly, the last leg measuring about 
0-3 mm. in length. The femur of the last leg (fig. 4A) is a little longer than the
