There are certainly two ring- joints in fasciativentris while only one is 
recorded for the type species. A careful re-examination of the latter will be 
necessary to decide how many there are in the genus. The types of the two 
species should be carefully compared. Later, through the kindness of Dr. R. 
Hamlyn-Harris, I was enabled to do this; there are two ring-joints in both 
species.

I captured a female of the type species by sweeping in the forest at 
Nelson, June 8, 1912. The antemue bear two rather large ring-joints, the first 
of the five club joints shortest. 
The Australian members of the family appear to inhabit the forested 
country, rather than that of the jungle.
