 aeneoijiloms (H. W. Cox and A. M. Lea). 



Apparently close to cinrtd, but abdomen not entirely pale, elytra 

 with dark part at, instead of before, apex, and punctures not as 

 described. Tlie dark part at the apex is sr/metinies slightly cut into 

 alonji' the suture. Tliere are about three hairs on each side of the 

 head, four or tive on each side of the i)rothorax. and about the same 

 on elytra ; they appear, however, to be easily abraded.

PsELAPIUOAE. 



In addition to the species now recorded I luwe taken a very minute- 

 specimen of this family from a nest of I ruhmi i/riiii' r i/htlier in Tas- 

 mania. It is blackish with pale appendages, and is apparently with- 

 out a medio-basal prothoracio impre.-sion ; tlie head, however, has a 

 rather deep gioove on each side, the two conjoined in front, and 

 these combined with an elongated form would appear to exclude it 

 from Etipinrs, As it is a female it appears undesirable to propose a 

 new genus for it.

 Clothed with short, subsquamose clothing, mostly stramineous, but

 one is in front; base gently incurved to middle, and produced on eacii 

 side behind the eye; each margin near apex with a snuill subconical 

 projection, indistinct froin some diiections. Antennae moderately 

 long, first joint stout, as long (wlien viewed troni ihi- sides) as second

 ninth distinctly longer than eighth, about as U)ng as wide, tenth 

 larger, eleventh truncate-ovate, slightly longer than ninth and tenth
