metanotum brown. Halteres jiale yellow or whitish. Abdomen 

 in ^ three times the length of thorax, yellow or whitish, each 

 segment banded anteriorly with brown and covered with 

 long pale yellow hairs ; anal joint and forceps generally 

 ochreous-yellow ; in 9 not twice the length of abdomen, brown, 

 rather densely covered with pale yellow hairs. Legs pale 

 ochre-yellow, densely haired. In fore legs tibia J longer than 

 metatarsus. Wings in $ as long as, or a little longer than, 

 abdomen, in 5 a little longer than the whole body, pellucid, 

 almost hyaline, densely haired, with yellowish veins ; pubescence 

 pale, with six small more or less indistinct brownish patches f" 

 three equidistant ones on anterior border, last (just before tip of 

 second longitudinal vein) squarish and most distinct of all ; three 

 indistinct ones on posterior border, one at tip of each branch of 

 fifth longitudinal fork, and third mid- way between tip of pos- 

 terior branch and anal angle. Costal vein extending a little 

 beyond tip of third longitudinal vein, but terminating far from 

 apex of wing ; auxiliary vein very indistinct, apparently termin- 

 ating near costa a short distance beyond middle cross-vein ; first 

 longitudinal vein reaching costa in $ somewhat beyond, in 5 at 

 a point mid-way between middle cross- vein and tip of costa ; 

 marginal cross-vein and second longitudinal vein exceedingly 

 indistinct, latter reaching costa at a point aboat J- (I) the distance 

 from tip of first longitudinal vein to that of third longitudinal ; 

 posterior cross-vein situated before middle cross-vein a distance 

 equal to its length ; fourth and fifth longitudinal veins very pale 

 and indistinct. 



Hab. — Berowra (Masters and Skuse). 



Genus 9. Peocladius, gen.nov. 



Antennse in (J 2-4- 13-jointed. Wings naked. Marginal cross- 

 vein and second longitudinal vein distinct. Fork of fifth longi- 

 tudinal vein short, its base lying mid-way between posterior cross- 

 vein and tip of its posterior branch. 



* More distinct when the wing is viewed at a certain obliquity.
