Second form broad, oval, more erect upon the twigs. These are much more 

 rounded, fleshy galls, with a slightly roughened surface, often darker in colour. 

 The apical portion contracted and rounded, with the cleft on the summit; 

 the apical orifice forms a slit at the bottom of the depression. 



Adult female pale yellow, broad to the base, flattened on the ventral 

 surface, with the abdominal segments much broader than usual, rounded 

 at the apex. Dorsal sm-face thickly clothed with fine white hairs, extending 

 beyond the segmental divisions, and forming marginal tufts; a few scattered 

 reddish spines on the last thoracic segment, and more scattered spines on 

 the first two abdominal segments; third to sixth abdominal segments fringed 

 across with larger, closer spines and bristles; at the base is a distinct anal 

 ring. The anal appendages widely apart at the base, standing out like long 

 spiral horns, roughened, with tubercles bearing fine hairs, turning outward 

 at the tips, which are cleft and furnished with three long bristles. Length, 

 f inch, and much broader in proportion than the turbinate forms. 



Male galls thickly scattered over the leaves; short, tubular, roughened, 

 and expanded at the apex. Height, J inch.

 Brachyscdis rjscefortiiis, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., p. 204, pi. xix, fig. 3. 1895. 

 This unique specimen came from Wingham, Manning River, New South 

 Wales, where it was growing upon the leaf of an undetermined species of 

 eucalypt. 



Female gall very slender, cylindri- 

 cal, slightly roughened on the sur- 

 face, swelling out at the apex into 

 an oval form twice the width of the 

 base ; the apex rounded, apical 

 orifice small, circular. Height, | 

 inch; \ inch in diameter at the 

 widest place. 



Male gall envelope with a short 

 stalk springing from the upper side 

 of the female gall, formed of a 

 wrinkled, irregular, slightly convex 

 mass of bright red tissue, with the 

 under surface very slightly convex, with over a thousand tubular pits 

 containing the male larvae. Width, \\ inches across and \ inch thick. 



Female coccid yellow, turbinate; too much damaged by parasites to be 

 described in detail.
