stigma of forewing; the veinlets of the pterostignia whitish. In 

 forewiiig, only five branches of lis before radial brace. Oblique 

 veins very clearly marked, very close to cubital fork (less than 

 one cell's length distant). In forewing, lA black, forming a 

 straight line to wing-border. Ci'oss- veins in cubital space of 

 forewing fairly numerous and close. 



//^t6. — Stradbroke Island, Q. Two specimens, bred in Novem- 

 ber, 1915, from large larvje, which do not form pits, but hide in 

 loose soil at the bases of trees. 



Tvpe in Coll. Tillyard (bred November, 1915). 



This species superficially resembles Mynne/eon luiiseriatus 

 Gerst., in colour and facies, but has narrower and less pointed 

 wings. Its nearest ally is AUqformicaleou australis Esb.-Pet., 

 (Sydney), from which it can be at once distinguished l)y its 

 smaller size, shorter wings, the hindwing not being as long as 

 the fore, and by the completely different, and much darker 

 colour-scheme. 



15. Alloformicaleon waterhousei, n.sp. (PI. v., fig. 14). 



Total length 19-5, abdomen 13, forewing 25, hindwing 24mm. 



Closely allied to the preceding species, but distinguished as 

 follows. On all four wings, a black mark on the stigma, and a 

 smaller mark at same level on Mi(this mark is a mere speck in 

 hindwing); in forewing, a larger, oblique, black streak arises 

 from just before middle of posterior border, and runs up across 

 Cu„ to bend parallel to Cuj + Mo at one cell's distance below it. 

 In forewing, lA speckled, not quite a straight line; cross-veins 

 in the cubital space of forewing very few and wide apart; also 

 Cui 4- Mo arches up more strongly than in A. hyalinus. Antennce 

 bordered by a pale line in front of bases; face pale straw-colour. 

 Hind femora black, except for the very pale bases. Abdomen 

 somewhat stouter than in A. hyaUnus, similarly coloured, but 

 with pale, transverse lines across apices of segments 2-S. 



//at. —Woodford, Blue .Mountains, N.8.W.(2,000feet). Three 

 specimens taken in February, 1909. by Mr. G. A. Waterhouse, 

 to whom I dedicate the species. A single specimen, somewhat 

 more heavily marked on wings, bred from a larva indistinguish-
