190 Ar/hvr M. Led,: 



of rather small punctures, becoming smaller towards base and 

 absent from shoulders ; interstices with very minute but rather 

 clearly defined pvmctures, as distinct on shoulders as elsewhere. 

 Metasternum, except in middle, with dense and rather coarse 

 punctures. Legs short and wide ; hind femora with a thin 

 flange-like extension at inner ajjcx ; front tibiae somewhat in- 

 flated, and with a few stiff bristles, four hind ones strongly 

 dilated to apex and with short stiff bristles. Length 2 mm. 



Hah. — Tasmania: New Norfolk — a single specimen from a 

 nest of Colnbopsis gasseri (A. M. Jjea). 



Much like tasmanlae in general appearance, but distinctly 

 smaller, and hind femora edentate, although at apex they have 

 a thin flange-like extension which partially covers the tiliiae 

 when at rest. 



('lumhiis iniji-nierophilus, n.sp. 



JJliick, highly polished : appendages, hind coxae excepted, 

 reddish flavous. Glabrous. 



Upper -surface ap])aren1ly iin]iiin(tate ; subsutui'al striae ab- 

 sent. Hind rorac with very miiintf ])unctures, and, as also the 

 metasternum and abdomen, highly polished. Length 1 nun. 



Hah. — Victoria: Portland, in a nest of a small variety of 

 Ectatomina metallicuni (H. W. Davey). 



In general appearance something like tierensis, but subsutural 

 stria absent and under surface very different. The highly 

 polished hind coxae and metast-ernuiu will readily distinguish 

 from fiimsoiii, and the colour from tropicus. 



Although from some directions the upper surface appears to 

 be entirely black, from others the tips of the elytra and sides 

 of the prothorax appear to be diluted with red. The club is 

 concealed on the type. The hind coxae are fully twice as large 

 as the metasternum. 



Myrmicholeva, n.g. 



Head small, with a wide concealed neck. Eyfs small, pro- 

 minent, latero-basal, moderately faceted. Clypeus rather large 

 and narrowed in front. Antennae slightly thickened towards 

 apex, but not clavate. Mentum wide. Lal)ia] palpi minute.
