Cairns (July) and Lucinda F'oint (July) in Queensland, but 

 these species are difficult to separate. 



2. glaiica. 



The vertex is shorter than in A^. hebe, more convex and not 

 tiush with the j^ronotuni. 1 think this also occurs at Kuranda. 



6. dryas sp. nov. 



Allied to A^. sordidior, but smaller and paler. Head testaceous, 

 more or less suffused with pale crange-brown, a short longitudi- 

 nal suture and a lateral impression, reddish-brown. Pronotum 

 creamy, with 3 thin orange-brown longitudinal lines continued 

 (more widely) on to the scutellum. Tegmina creamy, veins 

 white, the first two apical veins margined with fuscoiis. Wings 

 milky hyaline, veins on tb.e apical third mostly fuscous. Sterna. 

 legs, and sternites creamy with a tinge C(f brown. Tergites 

 I'lack, last segment pale. 



Male : Pygophor pale. 



Female: last segment sinuatel}- angularly emarginatc. lateral 

 angles acute ; pygophor elognate. 



Length 4^2 mill. 



Hab. Queensland, RedKnch (July), Cairns (July, Aug.). 

 Jjundaberg ( Sept. -Dec. ) . 



7. aiiraiitiigera, sp. nov. 



Head, pronotum and scutellum pale greenish-yellow. Teg- 

 mina and legs orange-red, the former with conspicuous whitish- 

 veins, the apical cells hyaline. Wings milky. Tergites fus- 

 cous, hind margin of the segments pale yellowish. Vertex 

 rounded in front, less than half the length of the pronotum, 

 about as long medianly as at the eyes. 



Length 4 mill. 



Hab. Queensland, Cairns (Aug., P.). 



The two followmg species probablv do not belong to Ncsos- 

 tcles, but as some of the species of that genus approach Baleliitha 

 (of which T know only one species), I prefer, for the present, to 

 include these two in Nesosfeles.
