Mallopliaga from Marsupials 
this group it is further distinguished by the backward production of 
the temporal angles behind the occiput (the figures, owing to pressure 
used in mounting the specimen drawn, do not sufficiently indicate this 
character), while the character of the inner face of the second tarsal 
joint finally distinguishes it from the one species with which it might be 
confused. 
Our specimens are from Macropus ualabatus and M. giganteus, both

Boopia phanerocerata n. sp. Fig. 7. 
Description of $. Head of the same general shape and proportions 
as B. notafusca, but with temporal angles more rounded, and temporal 
lobes not so markedly produced backwards behind the occiput. The 
eye is not so prominent, the pigment spot being extremely small; and 
the eye is not bounded posteriorly by a cleft. The strong hair behind 
the eye in B. notafusca is here represented only by a minute prickle; 
and the head outline presents an even curve from eye to anterior- 
temporal angle. The ocular spine is short and very stout; and a similar
