INSKCUTOR INSCITI/E MENSTRUUS 31 



In the analysis of species runs to poincarei, differing in that 

 the ovipositor valves are white at tip, the cross-stripe of the fore 

 wing is obliqued a little disto-caudad and is from between the 

 stigmal and marginal veins. Marginal fringes of the fore wing 

 about a fourth of the greatest wing width. Funicles 1, 2, and 

 4 subequal. Fore and middle tibiae white except just beneath 

 the knee. Funicle and club wholly brown. 



From five females in the U. S. National Museum (G. Com- 

 pere). 



Habitat, Perth, West Australia. 



Types, Cat. No. 20686, U. S. Nat. Mus., the above speci- 

 mens on a slide. 



Ablerus impunctatipennis, new species. 



Female. — Length, 0.50 mm., excluding the ovipositor, which 

 is extruded for a length equal to nearly a third that of the abdo- 

 men and the valves are white at tip. 



In the analysis runs to group III but differs in having the 

 fore wing entirely brown with the exception of a moderately 

 large, round, hyaline spot on the stigmal vein and a smaller spot 

 on the base of the marginal vein. Dark metallic green ; apex of 

 pedicel, funicle 4, knees and tips of tibiae and the tarsi except the 

 last joint, silvery white. Longest marginal ciha of the fore 

 wing about a third of the greatest wing width. Caudal wings 

 with sparse discal cilia. Funicles 1 and 2 subequal, each a half 

 longer than wide, 3 short, 4 shorter and a little shorter than 1. 

 A naked path nearly across fore wing from the hyaline stigmal 

 spot, the cilia denser proximad of this. (Color of head not 

 seen.) 



Two females in the collections of the U. S. National Museum 

 (G. Compere). 



Habitat, Perth, West Australia.

Ablerus marchali (Howard). 



Erroneously recorded from Sydney from a male specimen 

 which I have compared with the type.
