GEN^tis TUMIDICLAVA Girault. 
1. TUMIDICLAVA CILIATA GiraiiU. 
On page 97, line 4 in the original description of this species (Part I) the peculiar grass 
in which the Gooktown specimens were captured is a common sedge locally called nntgrass. 
On April 4, 1914, I captured a female of this species by sweeping native grasses in the forest; 
on this specimen I clearly sau' liie yellow nunliau line on the scutum which makes the species 
agree wnth the North American genotype. Ts tins a case of parallel evolution?

same pattern Avliile the legs are yellowisli white except hind coxa and femur. Also, the abdomen
