neous-yellow, coxae blue to near the apex; tarsi with the apex 

 black, wings hyaline, nervures pale yellowish-testaceous. Length, 

 2; terebra, 5 mm. 



Boggabri, N.S.W.; bred from seeds of grass, Panicum ? (Fry; 

 29th January). 



Face finely, closely aciculated; malar space with a distinct, 

 curved furrow. Palpi pale testaceous; mesonotum closely, finely, 

 almost trans\ersely, striated; the middle lobe clearly separated, 

 longer than it is wide at the base, the apex broadly rounded, the 

 lateral lobes with a distinct transverse furrow at the base; the 

 middle one suri'ounded by a wide furrow, which is widest at the 

 apex, where it is transverse. Scutellum pyriforra, roundly nar- 

 rowed to a blunt point at the base, where it is bounded by a 

 furrow, which is more distinct on the sides than in the middle. 

 There is an irregular black spot near the apex of the middle 

 femora, a more distinct line or band near the base of the tibiae, 

 and a broad, black line on either side of the basal half of the 

 hind femora; base of the hind tibia? infuscated. 



Probably the blue varies in tint, changing to green or brassy. 

 Allied to E. antipoda Ashm., which may be known by the abdo- 

 men being entirely jeneous-hlack, and the femora and tarsi, for 

 the greater part, seneous-black.

 its centre, the sides distinctly margined, narrowed obliquely 

 towards,:the apex, depressed inside the lateral keels. Head and 

 thorax not very shining, smooth, front and vertex with some 

 minute piuictures. Vertex rather deeply, widely, roundly emar- 

 ginate. Anteinial scape separated from the ocelli by one-third of 

 their length. Ocelli in a curve, the hinder separated from each 

 other by double the distance that they are from the eyes. Palpi
