Antennae entirely' black, the knees not pale, the basal cloud in forewings of 

 equal width, the apical not roundly curved and narrow, its base 

 oblique; the upper part of ovipositor shorter than the preceding 

 two segments united, longer than the apex of the projecting lower 



part nigricornix. 



Antennje with the base of flagellum annulate, the knees pale, the basal 

 cloud in forewings narrowed at the base, the apical roundly gradu- 

 ally widened from the base; tlie upper part of ovipositor longer than 

 the preceding three segments, nearly two-thirds of the length of the 



lower part anmdicornis. 



Almost similar as regards colouration and sculpture to A . 

 ainiuJicornis. The antennal scape is metallic green, the basal 

 joint of flagellum is dark purple : the upper part of the an- 

 tennal depression dark purple. Parapsidal furrows shallow. 

 Metanotum strongly, irregularly striated, the strife more or 

 less oblique, of equal length. Stigmal vein oblique, not pro- 

 jecting in front at the apex. The apex of scutellum strongly, 

 regularly crenulated behind the keel. 



It is probable that Aressida may be the same as Thaumasnra 

 West., but there are, apparently, some structural differences.

Callimome graminis, sp.n. 



Green with blue and brassy tints, flagellum of antennae black; 

 the four anterior knees, tibii« and tarsi, and the base and apex of 

 hind tibife, and hind tarsi, pale straw-yellow; palpi of a paler 

 yellow; wings hyaline, their apex ciliated, nervures black.

Boggabri, N.S.W. ; in January: l)red from seeds of grass, 

 Panicum sp.(W. W. Froggatt). 



Flagellum of antennae fuscous on the apex and under side, 

 closely covered wuth a microscopic pile; its second joint twice 

 longer than wide, clearly longer than the third. Head minutely 

 punctured, and witli scattered punctures. Middle lobe of meso- 

 notum closely, distinctly punctured, and with some indications of 

 minute striae; parapsidal furrows distinctly curved; the lateral 

 lobes almost smooth, the puncturation much finer than it is on 

 the middle lobe. Scutellum finely, closely, regularly punctured,
