fuscatis, venis ferrugineis; antennis fusco-ferrugineis, apice nigris. 

 Long. 21 mm. 



g. Clypeus pointed at the base, detfexed and broadly truncate 

 at the apex, finely longitudinally striated. Interantennal pro- 

 minence broad, the antennae of even thickness throughout and 

 inserted nearer to the eyes than to each other. Head and meso- 

 pleurse finely and closely punctured, subopaque; thorax finely and 

 sparsely punctured, shining, scutellum with a strong median 

 carina, postscutellum very broadly rounded and projecting slightly 

 beyond the base of the posterior truncation of the median seg- 

 ment, the surface of which is distinctly concave, shining and not 

 very finely punctured. Abdomen finely and rather sparsely 

 punctured, more closely at the base than at the apex; first seg- 

 ment the broadest, vertically truncate anteriorly; sixth ventral 

 segment with a spine on each side at the apical angles; hypopy- 

 gium with a blunt lobe on each side at the base, thence broadly 

 triangular with a stout apical spine. Seventh dorsal segment 

 with a flattened lamina. First recurrent nervure received at 

 three-fifths from the base of the second cubital cell, second at 

 about one-tenth from the base of the third cubital cell. Third 

 abscissa of the radius a little longer than the first and second 

 combined. The pronotum is widely emarginate anteriorly, the 

 anterior margin raised with a deep transverse groove behind it. 



Hah. — Borroloola, Northern Territory; January. 



Type in Victorian National Museum. 



The colouring recalls Rhynchium superbum. The species 

 belongs to the typical interruptus-group of Zaspilothynnus, and 

 is perhaps closer to Z. excavatus Turn., than to any other species. 

 The colouring of the head and pronotum is similar to that of the 

 West Australian Z. ochrocephalus Sm., but the colour of the 

 wings and abdomen is very distinct.
