214 NOTES ON THE FAMILY BRACHYSCELIDiE. 



This Ascelis gall was known to Scliracler, who mentions them in 

 his paper previously quoted as "large flat swelliugs on both sides 

 of the leaves " ; but he evidently considered it to be another form 

 of A. 2)raimoUis. Though both grow upon Eucalyptus corymhosa 

 in the same localities, yet I have never found both growing on the 

 same tree. 



Ascelis attenuata, n.sp. 



9. Galls very small, J line in diameter; reddish-brown, flat and 

 swelling out on either side of the leaf, with the apical orifice on 

 the upper side as in the former species. 



9, Coccid a pale yellow wrinkled mass, with a very long and 

 slender cylindrical anal appendage, truncate at the tip, surrounded 

 at the base by a broad dark brown ring or band. 



Hah. — Thornleigh, N.S.W. ; in January ; on the foliage of 

 Eucalyjytus 2)i2)e7'ifa.
