closely, irregularly reticulated, more strongly and obliquely 

 at base above, the apex above smooth. Metapleurae above 

 strongly reticulated, above the keel the striae are stronger 

 and oblique ; below the keel more finely and regularly reticu- 

 lated ; spiracles small, longish-oval. Abdomen smooth and 

 shining ; petiole becoming gradually widened to base of post- 

 petiole, which is smooth, of equal wfdth and a little wider 

 than long.

 dish (Eucalyptus) berry-shaped galls (W. W. Froggatt). 



I am not sure that rd'cilaryjjtus can be referred to the 

 Cryptince. The spiracles on the first abdominal segment are 

 placed nearer the middle than they are in that group ; the 

 mesonotal and mesopleural furrows are shorter, and less 

 clearly defined than in the typical Cryptince. The legs, too, 

 and especially the hinder, are shorter and thicker, being 

 more as they are in the rimpJlint. From the latter, it differs 

 in the basal abdominal segment being longer and more 

 slender, with the spiracles placed nearer the middle. My 

 present opinion is to refer it to the I'implinte, in or near the 

 Lissonoli/ii. The form of the abdomen, which is not com- 

 pressed laterally, separates it from the Opliioniiti.
