40 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADER^Y OF [Jan., 



t.m.; recurrent nervures meeting transversocubitals; second s.m. 

 a little broader than high; legs very pale yellow or pinkish-white, 

 hind femora dark behind except apically, hind tarsi dark at apex; 

 abdomen piceous, with the hind margin of first segment l^roadly 

 (notched in front sublaterally) , of the second narrowly, and the 

 base of the third, ferruginous; hind margin of third segment more or 

 less pallid. 



cf . Length 3| mm.; light colors of face, prothorax and legs clear 

 lemon-yellow ; face entirely yellow up to level of antennge : supraclypeal 

 mark larger, but upper extension of lateral marks formed as in female; 

 scape yellow in front, not swollen; flagellum light orange-fulvous 

 beneath; legs bright yellow, but the hind legs peculiarly marked, 

 the iemora with the apical two-fifths brown in front, the tibiae with 

 nearly the apical half (except a minute apical spot) very dark browm, 

 the tarsi dark except at base; abdomen with two very broad fulvous 

 bands, each notched on each side in front; venter fulvous. 



Habitat.— Fmnong, S. Australia, 59, 2cf^ (*S'. TI'. Fulton; Nat. 

 Mus. Vict. 227, 161, 215, 235, 230). In my table it runs to 5, and 

 there forms a new section, with mesothorax green. In spite of the 

 different coloration, it seems nearer to P. vittatifrons than to any other 

 described species. The type is a female. 

 Prosopis chlorosoma n. sp. 



9 . Length hardly 4| mm.; head and thorax dark green, varying 

 to black with a greenish tint, scutellum and postscutellum black; 

 the following parts are light yellow (reddened by cyanide in types) ; 

 clypeus except a broad band on each side, not reaching lower margin 

 (hence the light area on clypeus is like a tall hat with the brim 

 turned down); broadly triangular supraclypeal mark; lateral face- 

 marks, forming a band which extends as far as facial foveas; basal 

 half of mandibles (but not labrum) ; interrupted line on upper border 

 of prothorax, and tubercles. Tegulse hyaline with a yellow spot; 

 wings clear, the large stigma and the nervures dark reddish-brown; 

 b.n. nearly reaching t.m.; recurrent nervures meeting transverso- 

 cubitals, or first r.n. just reaching basal corner of second s.m.; 

 second s.m. about as high as broad; femora black, with the knees 

 broadly yellow; tibiae and tarsi yellow; abdomen black. ^lesothorax 

 dullish, very finely sculptured. Antennae pale fulvous beneath. 



Habitat— Croydon, Australia, 7 9 {S. W. Fulton; Nat. Mus. Vict. 

 192, 191). In my table this runs to P. albonitens Ckll., a very differ- 

 ent species, with blue abdomen. This cannot well be the female 

 of P. minuscula. Both have a minutely caneellate area of metathorax.
