basal cross-vein longer than the anterior cross-vein, and not quite 

 twice its own length distant from it. 



Length, 5 mm. 



//«&.— Melville Island, North Australia (G. F. Hill; 12/4/14). 



Described from two specimens. The clotliing of the thorax, 

 w^ngs, and abdominal ornamentation renders this a conspicuous 

 species. I have much pleasure in dedicating this species to its dis- 

 coverer. Co-type in Mr. Hill's collection.

We have also received specimens of a well defined variety of the 

 above from Dr. Bancroft and ]\lr. G. F. Hill, in which the two, 

 short, lateral, silvery lines, on either side of the median one on the 

 thorax, are entirely absent; in other respects it is quite typical. 

 Mr. HilFs specimen is evidently starved, as it measures only 2-5 

 mm.
