collected in Australia and Tasmania. 253 
One specimen, sent by Mr. Walker to the British 
Museum. This species resembles F. ionicus, Laf., from 
Asia Minor, etc., but is very differently coloured, and 
has the eyes more prominent, the legs less elongate, the 
antennae more slender, etc. The anterior femora are 
unarmed, and the specimen I have no doubt is a female. 
The insect is not described by King.

With three exceptions, the whole of the numerous 
representatives of this genus collected by Mr. Walker 
appear to be new to science. This is perhaps not to be 
wondered at, as very few species have been described 
from W. AustraKa, and one only is recorded from 
Tasmania.
