RJiyncJiota of Australia. 301 



This genus seems to be allied to Aiitiopula, Bergr., from Ceylon, 

 but is distinguished by the structure of the rostrum and the 

 antenupe.

Although the abdomen is wanting I do not hesitate to describe 

 this new genus, as it is the first Australian representative of this 

 sub-family, and as it is easily recognisable by the characters 

 given above. It is the smallest insect hitherto known of this 

 sub-family.
