CHEILONEUROMYIA new genus. 

 1. CHEILONEUROMYIA SIMPLICISCUTELLUM new species. Genotype. 



Fenuile: — Length, I.IU mm. A marginal Jusky spot on each side of abdomen at base. 



Orange yellow, the head except the vertex lemon yellow, the face with a black line across 

 at the insertion of antenniP, this line curving dorsad obtusely at meson; funicle and distal club 

 joint whitish; proximal two club joints black. Fore wings embrowned, crossed by a broad 

 naked hyaline band at apex of the stigmal vein, this band a little longer than the deeper 

 •infuscated stripe distad of it, the proximal margin of latter projected proximad at meson. Apex 

 of fore wing clearer. Propodeum, two round marginal spots on each side of the abdomen out 

 about middle and hind tibia just below knee, inirplish black. Ovipositor valves slightly 

 extruded, concolorous. Legs yellow. Mandibles with second tooth truncate. Axillae just 

 joined at meson, with a distinct carina between them. Lateral ocelli barely separated. Head 

 as in Hahrolepopterygis. Scape slender; pedicel a little longer than funicle 1 which is subequal 

 to 2, both distinctly longer than wide; funicle 6 quadrate. Club ovate, wider than the funicle. 

 Stigmal vein short, the postmarginal not quite as long as it, the marginal about twice its 

 length. Oblique hairless line present. Scutellum simple. Thorax reticulated, with black setae 

 which are not very long. Abdomen acute, its second marginal spot at the spiracle and more 

 or less obscure. 



From two females caught in jungle, April 3, 19]4. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 3158, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one sjiecinuni on a tag, the head 

 and a fore wing on a slide. 



Genus ^NASIOTDEA Girault. 

 1. fflNASIOIDEA VARIA new species. 



Female: — Length, L.'il) nun. exclusive of ovipositor which is extruded for a fifth the 

 length of the abdomen. 



Differs from the genotype in having the mandibles with two shoi't, subacute teeth. 

 Silvery white, the wings hyaline, the following parts black: Upper third of occiput, caudal 

 margin of cheeks ventrad of the eyes, cephalic margin of axillse, dorsum of abdomen, face of 

 pronotum, propodeum, a small spot just above and below (the latter split into two) knees, 

 a linear dot on middle tibia dorso-caudad a little distad of middle, caudal knees lightly and 

 a very thin dot below them, scape except apex of bulla, apex and base of its body, pedicel 

 except apical third, first four funicle joints, fifth slightly and base of first club joint. Vertex, 

 scutum, scutellum and axilla- orange reddish. Rest of funicle and club yellow. Thorax and 

 head finely scaly. Scutellum large, extending to base of abdomen, the axilliB very broadly 

 joined at meson, with a carina between them. Scutum and scutellimi with short, moderate 

 silvery pubescence. Abdomen acutely conic, nearly as long as the thorax, scaly. Hind tibial 

 spurs single. Face much inflexed, but the vertex not flat, the frons rather narrow; cheeks over 

 half the length of the eyes. Pedicel nearly twice longer than wide at apex, the first four funicle 

 joints submoniliform, 5 and 6 wider, wider tiian long; club large, blunt at apex, three fourths 

 the length of the funiele. Ring-joint minute. Hairless line of fore wing with many lines of 

 discal cilia proximad of it. Stigmal vein long. Venation very pale. 

 From one female caught in forest, June, 1914 (A. P, Dodd). 

 Habitat : Burnett Heads, South Queensland. 



Type: No.. Hy 315S. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, fore 

 wing and a hind tibia on a slide.
