Several females, type locality. October 10, ]913 and two males, three females reared 

 from coeeids on custard apple, Btapleton, N.T., Feliniary 4, ISUS (G. V. Hill). .\ common 

 species. 



2. ANERISTUS DIABOLICUS new species. 



Of the same appearance and stature as fumosiiieHiii.i but differing in the spot on the 

 fore wing which is shorter, its proximal margin straight (not oblique as in the other species), 

 its conical projection distad shorter, a flat convexity rather than a truncated eone and the 

 spot is therefore a little wider than long rather than somewhat wider than long. Also the 

 scape and cephalic knees and tibiat are white and all of middle tibiaj except slightly just distad 

 of knee (in fumosipeiinis, the jn-oximal half of middle tibia is black). Finally, funicle 1 is 

 barely longer than wide, 2 and 3 somewhat wider than long. Compared with types of futnosi- 

 pcnnix.

Hahiiat: Halifax (Ingham). Queensland. 



Type: No. By 2961, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a slide. 



Trihe PTEROPTRIGINI. 



APTEROPTRIX new genus. 



Differs from ArdiciiomHS Howard in that the clidi is 3-jointed, the first and seconil 

 funicle joints are not ring-like and the marginal cilia of the fore wing are long. 



1. APTEROPTRIX ALBIFEMUR new species. Female. Genotype. 



Differs from the second species in that the legs are white except the coxm and the hind 

 femur above at middle, there is no hairless line back from the venation, the wing is less distinctly 

 infuscated caudad of the venation and the mandibles are bidentafe. Funicle 1 and 2 sub- 

 ecjual, somewhat longer than wide, 3 slightly longer and subequal to the pedicel. Club well 

 defined. Club joints each longer than the pedicel. A naked sjiace distad of venation in both 

 sjiecies. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in forest. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. EyL"J6?. Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the female on a slide. 



2. APTEROPTRIX NIGRA (Girault). 

 Casca iiiiira Girault. Antea. p. 198, line 2 following the description the words the maJe 

 of Casca agrees witli the female of Archenomits should be omitted. The female anteunio were 

 erroneously described, there being three funicle joints of which '2 is intermediate between 1 

 and 3, the latter longest, a little longer than wide. The club is distinctly 3-jointed. Type 

 re-examined.
