 liearing a long slender marginal vein, which is as long as the submarginal and about thrice the 

 length of the stigmal; the latter is somewhat longer than in U.icanoidea Girault. The fore wing 

 is quite naked. The scape is distinctly shorter than the club. Valves of ovipositor slightly, 

 distinctly extruded. Hind wing narrow, acute, with very long caudal marginal fringes.

GEXU.S TUMIDICLAVA Girault. 



1. TUMIDICLAVA CILIATA Girault. 

 On page 97. line -t in the original description of this species (Part I) the peculiar grass 

 in which the Cooktown specimens were captured is a common sedge locally called '' nutgrass. " 

 On April 4, 1914, I captured a female of this species by sweeping native grasses in the forest ; 

 on this specimen I clearly saw the yellow median line on the scutum ivhich makes the species 

 agree with the Xorlli .\niericaii genotype. Is this a case of ]iarallel evolution.' 



2. TUMIDICLAVA NIVEIPES new species. 



Female: — Similar to ciiuila but the black on the body is much lighter yet forming the 

 same pattern while the legs are yellowish white except hind coxa and femur. Also, the abdomen 

 bears a complete line of marginal dots and about four abbreviated cross-stripes centrallv. 

 Body scaly. 



Described from one female captured with the ciliala mentioned above. A second female 

 same place. Ajiril 10 following and one on April 25, 1914.
