104 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



Like flavipes, but more robust, the scutellum terminating in a 

 distinctly bidentate plate and the postmarginal vein longer. The 

 scape is also longer. Posterior femur armed with twelve teeth, 

 the first large, the next two very small, followed by seven larger 

 ones, (of which numbers six to nine are largest) and two shorter 

 ones, the last broad, its flat upper edge at apex thus emarginate; 

 excluding the first tooth, numbers 6 to 9 are largest. In flavipes, 

 teeth Nos. 2 and 3 are not distinctly smaller than the ones im- 

 mediately following (distad).

Described from a single male specimen on a pin, from the 

 collections of the Queensland Museum, labelled "Brisbane, H. 

 Hacker. 3-7-11." 



Habitat: Australia — Brisbane, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 1181, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the fore- 

 noted specimen on a pin, plus one slide bearing antennae and a 

 posterior leg. 



Pseudepitelia new genus. 



Female: Resembling Epitelia of Kirby, but the abdomen 

 not produced into a stylus distad, the posterior femora without 

 depressed punctures and armed beneath with more teeth, there 

 being six moderately large, more or less, subequal teeth (but the 

 first largest), followed distad by four others, which shorten in 

 succession. The antennse are 13-jointed, with one ring-joint, 

 inserted nearly on a line with the ventral ends of the eyes, the 

 scrobicular cavity reaching the cephalic ocellus, the lateral ocelli 

 plainly more than their own diameter from the eye margin. The 

 postmarginal vein about half the length of the marginal, slender, 

 the stigmal very short, yet with more or less of a distinct neck. 

 The second abdominal segment occupying more than a third of 

 the abdomen. Propodeum with two small, acute projections in 

 the middle of the dorso-lateral line (seen from ventro-laterad). 

 Body nonmetallic, punctate. Abdomen as in Chalcis. The 

 scutellum terminates in a short, bidentate plate. 



Male: Not known. 



Type: The following species.
