102 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



joint, which is somewhat wider than long, the remaining joints 

 all wider than long, except the distal club joint, which is longest, 

 conical; distal funicle joints transverse; flagellum clavate, somewhat 

 compressed. 



(From two specimens, two-thirds of an inch objection, 1-inch 

 optic, Bausch and Lomb.) 



Male: Not known. 



Described from two female specimens mounted on pins, 

 labelled "Warburton, Victoria." This species differs from the 

 South American forms strikingly in coloration; also the funicle 

 joints of the antennae are shorter, the pedicel longer in relation to 

 them, the lateral ocelli farther away from the eyes, the plate of the 

 scutellum more deeply lobed and the stigmal vein not sessile, yet 

 short. Otherwise, it is similar in all details, with the possible ex- 

 ception of the ventral plate on the thorax, which I was unable to see 

 in these specimens because of the manner in which they were 

 mounted. 



Habitat: Australia — Warburton, Victoria. 



Types: No. Hy 1178, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the 

 above specimens (2 pins) plus a slide bearing an antenna and a pos- 

 terior leg. 



2. Tumidicoxa flavipes new species. 



Female: Length, about 5 mm. 



Like the South American species, but the plate at the apex 

 of the scutellum is not emarginate at the meson, or barely so. 

 Opaque black marked with lemon yellow as follows: The tegulae 

 except at extreme base (cephalad), tibiae and tarsi, except the 

 brownish base of posterior tibia and parts of the distal tarsal joint, 

 distal half of cephalic femora, distal third of intermediate femora 

 and the tip of the posterior femora. Legs otherwise black, reddish 

 black on femora and tibiae on first two legs. Venation and an- 

 tennae brownish black, the latter really black, brownish toward 

 tip. Wings perfectly clear. Body rugoso-punctate, the second 

 abdominal segment shining. Pubescence not conspicuous. An- 

 tennae 12-jointed, cylindrical, with one ring-joint, the pedicel 

 small, wider than long, not half the length of the proximal funicle 

 joint, which is the longest joint of the flagellum. Distal club 

 joint longer than the other, obliquely truncate at tip. Distal
