as follows (features of our material given first followed by Dumonts specimens): 1) the second endopodal segment of the antenna bears eight rather than nine inner setae; 2) the anterior surface of the intercoxal sclerites of legs 1 to 4 are naked instead of ornamented with an incomplete spinular row; 3) the posterior surface of leg 1 intercoxal sclerite is naked rather than furnished with two spinular rows; 4) the inner margin of leg 1 basis is naked rather than ornamented with setules; and 5) the inner margin of leg 5 is naked as opposed to furnished with spinules. Due to the lack of material from the Yanchep Caves, we are uncertain at this time whether these subtle differences represent either geographical or interspecific variation. Examination of additional material from Western Australia is required to resolve this issue. Nevertheless, we believe it is appropriate to treat our specimens as
