and vertex orange relloiv. Tibisr iliiskv, pallid almig ilistal half. Fiire wings with a 

 snbstigmal spot, irregularly infnscated near base. Marginal fringes of fore ^^ing nearly as 

 long as the <-andal marginal fringes of hind wing. Otherwise like iinfasciata.

4. LATHROMERELLA LONGICILIATA new species. 



Vvnuih': — Lengtli, 0.7n nun. 



P.right, deep golden yelli)w; head, ceplialir )iart nf tliorax (jaonotiim and a little of 

 mesonotum), ]>ri>p(ideum anil distal ttird (if abdunieii dusky or jet blaek ; legs dusky. Fore 

 wings distinetly dusky but irregularly ¥0 yet there is a distim-t dusky stripe across from 

 the stigmal vein ,Tnd whieh is rather broad; under the snbmarginal vein the blaek is also 

 distiuetly dusky, elsewhere f.-iintly so. Margin.al vein a little longer than the snbmarginal. 

 • Agrees with the generic diagno^;is except that the fore wings bear rather long marginal cilia 

 (somewhat less than a third the greatest wing widfli) and tlie abdomen is shorter, the 

 ovipositor inserted at middle (not extruded); fore wings where widest with about a dozen 

 lines of diseal cilia which are not dense but in more or less regular lines, each cilium very 

 short. Hind wings with at least two complete lines of diseal cilia, both cephalic. Mandibles 

 tridentate, the third tooth shorter than the others. Antenna; dusky; fifth club .joint longest, 

 subequal to the terminal spine or a little shorter. Vertex transversely lineolated. Marginal 

 cilia of hind wing caudad barely longer than the longest marginal cilia of fore wing. 



From one female captured in forest, April 4, 1914. 



Uahitat: Gordonvale (Caiins), Queensland. 



Type: No. By 2440, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



AVhat appears to be the nude of this species lacks the terminal sjiine on the antenna 

 and the whole abdomen is dusky black, the meson of propodeum yellow and most of scutum, 

 the latter bearing two long, spindle-shaped black markings quite as in Vfcnii hiiwtaliis. Ths 

 fore wings are more uniformly infuscated. 



One male cajitured with the female and mounted with the type of Tjfcna hinoiatiix 

 Girault. 



5. LATHROMERELLA UNFASCIATA new species. 



Female: — Length, O.liO mm. 

 Golden yellow; a wedgeshaped marking on each side of meson of scutum cephalad, 

 antenna;, caudal legs except tiliia" ami tarsi, sides of pronotum and propodeum, dusky; a 

 rather broad stripe across abiionu ii at distal three fourths and a rather large round spot 

 between this and apex on each side of mesou, black. Fore wings with marginal cilia not long, 

 the blade lightly infuscated only from stigmal vein ; marginal cilia of fore wing distinctly 

 shorter than the caudal cilia of hind wing. 



Male: — Not known. 



From one female captured by sweeping grass in forest, April S, 1914. A second 

 specimen .Tune 10, 1914, in the same jilace. A third female, September, Pentland, Queensland. 



BaVilat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. By 2441, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the tirst specimen on a slide. 



The cross-stripe of abdomen is really very nnnmvly divided along the meson, the 

 mesal ends of each side turned caudad. There is also a more obscure stripe across just before 

 tip of abdomen.

 One female, Gordonvale (f'ainis), Qneeuslainl, M.nrli :)1, 1914, by sweeping grasses in 

 forest. Two females, same place, April 8, 1914.
