llie scapular region of the mesonoitum ; tarsi 4-joiivtecl, wings with 

 long apical cilia, much longer than the greatest width of the 

 wing. Abdomen sessile, ovipositor a little exserted. (Plate 

 XII, fig, 4 and 6; antennae.) 



Anagnis frcqncns, sp. nov. 



Female : Orange red or reddish yellow, the occiput for a 

 large part, the antennae except the two basal joints, two conti- 

 guous or subcontiguous large marks on the front of the mesono- 

 tum, one on the anterior end of each of the scapulae, one on the 

 axillae, two or three of the l>asal abdominal segments more or 

 less, as well as their lateral margins very narrowly, and the 

 sheaths of the ovipositor, dark, blackish or fuscous. Wings 

 hairy, but with a long bare area on the lower side of the apical 

 half. Ovipositor very little exserted. 



Male generally like the female apart from the structural differ- 

 ences in the antennae as stated above, and in the usual abdo- 

 inal characters. Markings as in the female, probably more pro- 

 nounced as a rule, but similarly situated, the abdomen apically 

 dark above. Length % mm. 



Hab : Queensland ; bred from eggs of Delphacids. An ap- 

 parently slightly different race inhabits Fiji, but I cannot sepa- 

 rat I it specifically. 



Aiiagnis cohinibi, sp. nov. 



Apparently almost identical with the preceding in form and 

 structure, but at once distinguished by the fact that the hairs 

 on the apical part of the front wing are of more general dis- 

 tribution and do not leave the large bare space noticeable in A. 

 frcquens. In specimens mounted in balsam in 1903, the color 

 characters are as follows : Luteous. head sordid or smoky 

 yellow, antennae with three basal joints yellow (but the scape is 

 somewhat darkened in part) the rest fuscous. Mesonotum yel- 

 lowish fuscous, the parapsides darker in front, the axillae also 

 infuscate. Abdomen sordid yellowish. In life the markings 

 are very probably almost identical with those of A. frcquens, but 

 whether the general color is as red as in that s])ecies, it is im- 

 possible to say. Length f mm. 



Llab : Columbus, Ohio (K-oebele, No. 2320) bred from eggs 

 of Libiiriiia on g^rass.
