ioc, Adult female from Greenbushes, Western Australia, 28th Aug., 1931 
(H.W.). ? Male from soil, Dobodura area, New Guinea, 1944 (G. M. Kohls). 
Remarks. In the nature of the dorsal setae and of the palpi and crista as 
well as the proportions of length and height of tarsi I and the ratio of length 
of tarsi I to metatarsi I there seems little doubt but that the above specimens are 
of the same species and although Banks’s figures and deseriptions are inadequate 
yet it appears reasonable to refer them to his species,
