Amongst the Coleoptera one small species of weevil taken from 

 sifted moss probably belongs to a new genus. In the Lepidoptera, 

 two specimens of a Hepialid moth also appear to be new; they 

 closely resemble a well known Victoria species, Oxycanus sirpus 

 Tind., but examination of the genitalia shows them to be quite 

 distinct. 



A fine large Trapdoor Spider with about 50 young ones is new, 

 and belongs to the typical genus At rax.
