AUSTRALIAN OPILIONES 83 
lateral margins. Sternites smooth except for a single transverse 
row of minute setose granules. Genital operculum of triangular 
shape, wider at base than length in proportion of 7:9. Sternum 
very narrow. 
Chelicerae. Small. Basal segment constricted proximally, disto- 
dorsal surface smooth but for a few small granules. Second seg- 
ment with a line of small setose granules on the dorsal surface but 
otherwise smooth. 
Pedipalps. As in Fig. 35. Trochanter small, almost twice as 
wide as long, with a small setose tubercle on the ventral surface. 
Femur swollen and smooth except for a small setose tubercle on 
the proximo-ventral surface and a small median spine on the inner 
surface. Patella smooth, relatively slender, slightly more than 
twice as long as the width at the widest portion. Tibia evenly 
ovoid, not concave on the ventral surface; armed with a pair of 
setose tubercles on the ventral surface at five-sixths of the distance 
from the proximal margin. Tarsus slender, concave below, and 
armed along the outer margin with three and along the inner 
margin with two setose tubercles. Tarsal claw strong. 
Legs. All segments except metatarsi and tarsi granulate, ven- 
tral surface of femur IV strongly so. Calcaneus of all legs very 
small, much shorter than astralagus. Calcaneus of leg IV not 
notched below. Distitarsi of leg I of two segments, leg II of three 
segments. Tarsal formula 3, 5, 4, 4. Median prong of claws 111 
and IV much stronger than side branches.

Type. Male holotype in the collection of the National Museum 
of Victoria, Melbourne. 
Locality. A single specimen, collected by Mr. A. N. Burns at 
Kallista, Vie. 
Remarks. This species is closely related to L. raniceps Roewer 
from Tasmania, but can be separated from the Tasmanian species 
by its much higher eyemound and the presence of strong granu- 
lations on the femur of leg IV.
