irregularly transversely striated : at the base, on either side, 

 is a deep crenulated furrow, slightly narrowed on the inner 

 side, and bounded on the outer side by a stout, raised keel ; 

 beyond this are two roundly curved, oblique keels, uniting 

 before the metanotum, then forming a small triangular area : 

 the space between the two bears seven or eight keels. Meso- 

 notum more widely and strongly punctured than pronotum, 

 scutellum than the mesonotum. Propleuras above coarsely, 

 umbilically punctured : below, with some stout, irregular keels. 

 MesopleurcC with the centre stoutly, closely, longitudinally 

 striated : this part, at the base, is bordered by a smooth, flat, 

 shining keel, which bends shortly above the middle, to the 

 middle coxae : the space behind this is irregularly reticulated ; 

 the apex above is rugosely punctured, below smooth, the top 

 part at the apex bordered by six foveae in two rows of three 

 each. Metapleurse closely, coarsely, umbilically punctate. 

 Abdomen not much longer than thorax, the terminal seg- 

 ments opaque, shallowly reticulated. The apex of the fore 

 femora and the tibiae broadlv in the middle are black ; the 

 underside of the hind femora densely covered with white 

 pubescence. 9 • Length, 4 mm. 



Narara, N.S.W. ; bred from the codling moth, Carpnrapsa 

 'pnmnvella (W. B. Gurney). 



The inner orbits are bordered by a stout keel which, at the 

 top, runs round the anterior ocellus, this part being narrower 

 than the rest ; the space between the keel and the eyes is 

 crenulated : the hinder ocelli are placed oxxtside the keel : the 

 top of the antenna! scape reaches to the ocelli. The malar 

 space is slightly shorter than the eyes. 



Mr. J. C. Crawford (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., fig. 41, 271), 

 describes BnlticeUa s^toheai, bred at Glen Innes, N.S.W. , from 

 the codling moth, which agrees very closely in colouration with 

 the species described. My species, however, is not a Halti- 

 relln, which genus has the hind femora armed with about 

 twelve small teeth. A . poinovellrp is not unlike A . cnrporapscp : 

 but it is larger, has entirely black antennae, and the lobes on
