wing is no longer than the first (complete) cross-stripe; and the 

 mesal part of the scutum bears white pubescence which is scat- 

 tered ; also, the scutellum is plane (a variable character). The 

 raised triangle (cephalad) of the scutum is half the length of 

 that part and scaly, not wavy-lined like the scutellum, Pro- 

 notum reddish (not metallic). 



Many females in the U. S. National Museum (G. Compere). 



Habitat, Perth, West Australia. 



Types, Cat. No. 30693, U. S. Nat. Mus., two females on a

Genus MESEUSANDALUM Girault 



A synonym of Eiisandalum. The parapsidal furrows are 

 complete, very narrow, joining before the middle of the scu-

Leptomastix australia, new species. 



Female. — Length, 1.50 mm. Dark metallic purple, the prox- 

 imal joint of the middle tarsus white. Resembling closely tri- 

 fasciatus but the fore wing pattern differs in that there are but 

 two fascise, the first and second being joined rather narrowly 

 along the caudal margin of the blade. Thus the following wing 

 pattern : A hyaline, longer than wide and hairy stripe at base, a 

 rather narrow fuscous stripe much narrower than the second 

 fuscous stripe and joined to it as noted ; a triangular hyaline, 

 naked area of rather large size between fuscous stripes 1 and 

 2, its next longest side against the submarginal vein; a second 

 fuscous stripe over thrice the length of the first, broadening 

 caudad, including the hairless line and extending from distal 

 submarginal. marginal and all of postmarginal veins; a rather 

 narrow, curved naked hyaline stripe, its convexity proximad, 

 its proximal margin tipping apex of postmarginal and stigmal 

 veins ; a third fuscous stripe, much longer than the second
