 Jong, acute teeth.

 pedicel longer than any of funicle joints, a little longer than wide at apex. Funicle joints 

 widening distad, 1 as long as 6 but distinctly narrower. Club enlarged, nearly as long as the 

 funicle. Frons moderate. Himl tibial spurs double, the smaller spur no longer than the apical 

 fringes. Apex of fore wing rather broadly and apical and caudal margin distad of venation 

 narrowly (broadly at first from proximad) clear, tlie infuscation from the curve of the 

 submarginal vein. Marginal vein black, truncate; hairless line with about i-o lines of cilia

From one female caught by sweeping forest uplands. May 29, 1914 (A. P. Dodd).

6. CHEILONEURUS DUBIUS new species. 

 1 captured on March 1, 1914 in a jungle ijocket. (iordouvale, a female specimen agreeing 

 in every particular with chlorodryini Perkins except tliat the space between the eyes was about 

 three times the diameter of an ocellus, thus not excessively narrow and the cephalic ocellus could 

 not be called exeessi\'ely remote from the other since the three were in a triangle not nuicli 

 more tlian twice higher than broad at base. The ocelli were not in a metallic area. 

 Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 

 Type: None designated.
