Types. Holotype male and allotype female in National Museum 
of Victoria; paratypes in Canterbury Museum, Christchurch, N.Z. 
Locality. Mount Buffalo, Victoria, where large numbers have 
been collected by Mr. H. C. E. Stewart, of Melbourne, after whom 
I have the pleasure of naming this species. The largest series was 
collected from the bole of a Snow Gum (Eucalyptus paucifolia) 
during December, 1947. 
Genus NODALA nov. 
Eyemound normal, canaliculate, set its own diameter from 
the anterior margin of the carapace. Cephalothoracie carapace 
smooth. Body smooth, tergites I-V of male fused into a scute, 
otherwise clearly demarcated by transverse grooves. Chelicerae of 
both male and female smooth, short, not as long as body. Pedi- 
palps relatively stout, but without apophyses, spiculate in male. 
segs slender, long and smooth. 
Genotype Nelima dunm Forster, 1948. 
This species was provisionally placed in the subfamily Lio- 
buninae until a more extensive survey of the Australian Palpa- 
tores could be made. It is now evident that it should be placed in 
the Megalopsalinae.
