Permophilus hirtus, n. sp. 
Text-figure 6 
Fore wing: 6.8 mm. long and 2.2-2. 4 mm. broad; granulation 
dense and small, covering the whole wing surface, tubercles very flat 
and sparse, indistinct; costal expansion unknown; apical part of wing 
narrow, prolonged, the apex placed in about the longitudinal axis 
of the wing; anterior margin convex, slightly concave before the 
apex, strengthened in the basal half; posterior margin slightly con- 
cave; Sc well developed, narrowing distally to the anterior margin, 
reaching almost the middle of the wing length; subcostal area very 
broad; R, M + CuA, A x and A 2 strong veins in the basal third, but 
completely reduced in the more distal part of the wing; CuP con- 
cave, indistinct. 
Relationship. Permophilus hirtus , n. sp., differs from Permophilus 
capulus , n. sp., in its smaller dimensions, more abruptly narrowing 
wing distally, indistinct, shortened CuP and probably more sclerotized 
wings and veins. From Permophilus pincornbei Tillyard it differs 
by its smaller dimensions. 
Remarks. In the anal area of the holotype (No. In 46014, ob- 
verse) a small piece of the dorsal fore wing membrane is missing so 
that the sculpturing of the inner side of the ventral fore wing mem- 
brane is visible. It is covered by punctations, which correspond to the 
small granulation on the outer surface of the ventral membrane. This 
fortunate breaking away of the wing membrane shows that both 
sides of the tegmina of Permophilidae were covered by projecting 
sculpturing, even the ventral surface. The only punctate sculpturing 
on the wing surface is the small trace at insertion of setae, arranged 
in patches, as is to be expected in the case of good preservation in 
the subcostal area and along the anterior margin in the basal part of 
the wing. 
Holotype: No. In 46014 (obverse), British Museum (N.H.), 
London. Specimen No. In 45805 is the same species. Collected in 
Upper Permian, Belmont, N.S.W. 
Permophilus capulus, n. sp. 
Text-figure 7 
Fore wing: about 15 mm. long and 3.9 mm. broad, little scle- 
rotized ; granulation small, dense on the whole wing surface, tubercles 
flat and indistinct; costal expansion unknown; anterior margin 
slightly convex, strengthened only in the basal part; Sc, R, M+CuA 
and A 1 strong, ending in the basal third; CuP concave, distinct, 
running its whole course; A2 and A3 also complete.
