Platyplectrum.
P. marmoratum. From Port Stephens to the far north.
This is one of the rarer species, discovered through the exertions of Mr. Wilcox, at the Clarence River. It is a rather stout species, with marbled back and whitish belly. The total length is eighteen lines. It resembles Cryptotis brevis at first sight.
