than to the inner series; stigma green; divisory ends beyond the cross-vein; 

 third cubital rather longer than the second, and widened at tip; marginal 

 forks hardly twice as long as broad. 

 Expanse, 22 mm. 



From Chacra di Coris, Argentine, 26 February, 20 March. 



MYEMELEONID^!. 



Acanthaclisis subfasciatus n. sp. 



Face below antennae wholly pale yellowish, basal joint of antennae also 

 pale, a black mark between antennae, above is a transverse pale band, the 

 vertex dull blackish, with three black joints or a line, all with short white 

 hair; palpi pale. Pronotum yellowish, a median stripe (broader and divided 

 in front), a narrow stripe eachsidenotreachingbehind,andthesides (broadly 

 behind), all black; thorax brownish, a black stripe each side above wings; 

 abdomen dull black, with short white hair; thorax with long white hair, 

 and shorter erect black bristles; femora mostly blackish, tibite yellowish, 

 the front and middle ones black banded on outside, hind tibiae with black 

 tip; tarsi black, pale on first and base of fifth joints. Wings hyaline; with 

 about four faint brown bands before stigma, the first one extending over 

 fork of cubitus, these bands are most distinct on radius and cubitus; between 

 the bands the wing is hyaline whitish and most of the venation also; a dark 

 mark at stigma and a spot at union of cubitus and median, and spots all 

 around outer edge, a faint mark at end of anal vein ; the subcosta has short 

 dark spots, and the radius long dark spaces, many cross-veins are black, and 

 the line of bent veins also black. In hind-wings is a mark at stigma, and 

 faint clouds along outer posterior margin and a faint mark over cubital 

 fork. Wings moderately slender, about as in A. conspurcatus. In fore- 

 wings about seventeen to twenty-four costals are simple, and about as 

 many crossed; in hind-wings no costals crossed; in fore-wing seven 

 cross-veins before radial sector, in hind-wings four such cross-veins, twelve 

 branches to radial sector in each wing. 



Expanse, 80 mm. 



From Kuranda, Cairns, Queensland, Australia. (Dodd). 



All the other described Australian species of this genus have the 

 costals crossed to near base of wing, only six or eight being simple. 



The A. fulva Petersen resembles a species in British Museum 

 (and my collection) which bears a manuscript name of van der 

 Weele's. This species however has narrow wings, all veins (or 

 nearly all) are red-brown, the mesoscutellum has two yellow dots, 

 and hind wings have a cloud along outer hind margin. It comes 

 from West Australia. I would name it but the type should be in 

 the British Museum. 



Acanthaclisis subtendens Walk, appears to be a small speci- 

 men of .4. fundatus, at least the venation is about the same.
