This is a true Goiiafopns with 5-jointed maxillary palpi, three 

 distinct joints beyond the g-enicnlation. 



Hab. Paramatta, Sydney. X. S. W. : bred from a Jassid ( Koe-

Ncoi^oiiaiof^iis 'c'itii'iisis. sp. nov. 



Black, the lower part of face, the mandibles, except the red- 

 dish teeth, and the three basal antenna] joints, yellow, the scape 

 darker above. Front legs with the trochanters entirely pale or 

 marked with fuscous, the femora black or dark brown and pale

 yellow, the trochanters, tip of femora and middle of tibiae l)eing 

 pale, the tarsi brownish, blacker towards the apex. 



Head very little concave above, the surface not much shin-

 sparingly clothed with short erect grey hairs; the pronotum 

 more or less shining, the rest of the thorax duller, and densely 

 minutely punctate or shagreened; the propodeum elongate and 

 not at all abruptly raised in the spiracular region. Front tro- 

 chanters unusually short and robust, not with the usual long

This interesting species in the structure of the trochanters 

 and the shape of the iiead approaches the genus PacJiyi^omitopiis.

Head deeply concave, and the sur!"ace shining, the third an- 

 tennal joint long and very slender, one and a half times as long 

 as the fourth. Pronotum smooth and shining, the rest of the
