Psyche 
[December 
bearing punctures each side last ventral segment. Measurements : 
length 8.6 - 8.8 (including spines); width 2.9 mm. 
Types. Holotype cf (British Mus.) and 1 (probably 9 ) paratype 
(MCZ Type No. 31,672) both from Laboean, Batjan Is., Moluccas, 
Feb., Mar. (no year given) (Doherty). 
Notes. In my key to the species of Demetrida of New Guinea 
(1968, pp. 1461?) this runs to couplet 35 but fits neither species 
there named, having the prothorax more quadrate than in forma 
Darlington and the cf middle tibiae less bent in at apex than in 
recta Darlington and tuberculate-serrate (not so in recta). 
The specimens here described were seen by Liebke, who labeled 
them “Genus? spec.?”
