specimens examined from the type locality. 
It would thus appear that in Paraguay and the neighbiuriug 
parts of Argentina four species of Myotis are to be found, 
distinguishable as follows : — 
Greueral colour dark greyish or blackish. 
Lower belly not -whiter. No naked patch be- 
tween shoulders M. nigricans, Wied. 
Lower belly passing into white. A naked 
patch between shoulders M. albescens, Geoff. 
General colour more or less rufous or fawn. 
Lower belly passim^- into yellow. Dorsal fur 
short, reddish throughout M. ruber, Geoff. 
Lower belly not yellow. Dorsal fur long,

LXVIII. — Description of a new Snake of the Genus 
Pseudechis from Queensland. By G. A. Boulenger, 
F.K.S. 
Pseudechis Colletti. 
Eye rather small, its diameter nearly equalling its distance 
from the mouth. Rostral as deep as broad? (end of snout 
damaged in the single specimen) ; frontal small, once and a 
half as long as broad, not longer than the praifrontals, much 
narrower than the supraoculars^ half as long as the parietals ;

posterior nasal in contact vvitli the single pra30cular ; two post- 
oculars ; temporals 2 + 2, first lower very large and wedged 
in between the fifth and sixth labials ; six upper labials, 
third and fourth entering the eye, third, fourth, and fiftii equal 
in depth. Scales in 25 rows on the neck, in 19 on the body, 
Vontrals 223; anal divided; subcaudals GO, mostly single, 
only the 9 last divided. Dark brown above, with irregular 
yellowish blotches ; a yellowish vertebral streak on the nape ; 
sides and lower parts yellowish. 
Total length 450 millim. ; tail Q5. 
A young specimen from Queensland, locality unknown, 
for which I am indebted to my friend Prof. R. Collett. 
This species differs from P. papuanus, Ptrs. & D^r., to 
which it is most nearly related, in the narrower frontal shield, 
the equal de])th of the third, fourth, and fifth labials, and the 
small number of divided subcaudals.

$. Antenna?, palpi, head, thorax, and fore wings black, 
palpi with a wdiite band on first and third joints; face with a 
white spot on each side in front, a white spot between the 
antennse, and four white spots on the front of thorax ; abdo- 
men ochreous yellow, with black segmental bands, which are 
broadest above : fore wings with two ochrcous-white trans- 
verse bands — the first from the subcostal vein across the 
middle of the cell, extending downwards nearly to vein 1, the 
second across the disk from near the costa one third from apex 
to near outer margin above the hinder angle; also from two 
to four subapical white dots j in the nine examples before me 
these bands vary more or less, some being nearly even and 
some sinuated : the hind wing is reddish orange, with black 
basal, costal, and outer marginal bands, the outer band 
attenuated towards the anal angle and its inner margin 
sinuous; in the middle of the costa there is a knob-shaped 
production inwards ; a short thick black band from the abdo- 
minal margin, above the angle, connected by two black lines 
with the marginal band, two white dots on the apical portion 
of the marginal black band, sometimes three, sometimes none 
at all.
