 mina.

2. hiva, sp, nov. 



Allied to the preceding but the vertex is wider, as wide as or 

 wider than an eye ; the frons wider and shorter, angulate lateral- 

 ly just posterior to apical margin, strongly carinate medianly . 

 Pronotum lutescent. 



Length : 5^ mill. 



Hab: Queensland, Bundaberg, (ix-xii type), Cairns (viii),

Head short, scarcely extending beyond apical margin of eyes; 

 vertex about as wide as an eye, transverse, 7-sided, divided by 

 median keel into two 5-sided areas, somewhat deeply and round- 

 ly impressed; posterior margin truncate. Eyes reniform, ob- 

 lique, latero-posteriorly extending to about half the length of 

 the pronotum. The two apices of t'he vertex each give forth a 

 keel, these unite near the top of the 'head at about three-fourths 

 of the length of eyes (as seen from below), thence con'tinuino- to 

 the apical margin of the flattish frons which is slightly emargin- 

 ate; lateral keels of the frons straight (except at their base where 

 they curve around meeting t'he 2 small basal forks of the median 

 keel), subparallel (very slightly convergent towards the apex) 

 and contiguous to the inner margin of tihe eyes. Lateral keels 

 of genae meeting lateral 'keels of frons at an acute angle at the 

 apical margin. All these keels are narrow, but well marked. 

 Frons about the same width or a little narrower than an eye. 

 Clypeus 3-carinate. 



Antennae with ist segment flattened, apically dilated, tri- 

 angular; 2nd segment longer than first, flattened more or less, 

 a trifle narrower at apex than at base. Pronotum transverse,
