tip, venation mostly pale, the gradate series black, and many other veins, 
especially cross-veins, black at base and tip. Costal area not as broad as 
third cubital cell, the latter rather short, the divisory veinlet slightly 
oblique; eight gradate veinlets in the inner series, nine in the outer series; 
in hind wings the venation is almost wholly pale. Expanse 40 mm. 
From Port Darwin, 29 August (Dodd). 
Ankylopteryx pallida sp. nov. 
Pale yellowish throughout, the palpi marked with dark at the tip, and 
on each anterior corner of pronotum is a dark spot; wings pale, some of 
the cross-veins and gradate series faintly dark, but a more distinct spot on 
the radius at the point where it is joined by the first cross-vein from the 
radial sector; costal area at origin of radial sector is nearly as broad as 
rest of the wing at that point, the radial sector very sinuous, emitting six 
or seven branches; the third cubital cell nearly twice as long as broad, 
the divisory veinlet cutting off a small cell, but ending beyond the cross- 
vein; near tip of wing the subcosta diverges from the radius, between radial 
sector and median are four cross-veins; hind wings much narrower, acute 
venation pale. Pronotum slightly longer than broad, narrowed a little in 
front. Expanse 24 mm. 
From North Queensland (Perkins). dA. immaculata, described 
from Tasmania, has a spot over antenne, distinct stigma, etc. 
Myiodactylus pubescens sp. nov. 
Pale yellowish; sides of pronotum faintly greenish, a black dot on each 
anterior lobe of the mesothorax; antenne near middle barely darker; wings 
with only_a few cross-veins in middle area black and black at forkings of 
some of the costals, and those along apical margin. Antenne barely more 
than one third the length of the wings; pronotum slender, narrowed in 
front, a furrow before the middle, and a swollen ring at the posterior 
margin. Wings extremely broad, not two and a half times as long as 
broad, a few of costals forked near middle, all near tip, as likewise all 
around apical and outer margin; radial sector with nine branches, the con- 
necting veinlets numerous, about one in every three or four black, the cells 
mostly broader than long; entire surface of fore wings and also the costa 
densely hairy, mostly erect, especially prominent near anterior base; hind 
wings much less hairy, one half narrower, the radial sector with eight 
branches, and nearly all veins unmarked. Expanse 40 to 44 mm. 
From Port Darwin, 18 March, 14 April (Dodd). 
Mantispa pullula sp. nov. 
Pale yellowish; a median brown stripe on the face; antenne dark; pro- 
notum slender, on enlarged part in front with brown sides and two sub- 
median brown stripes; thorax pale, dark on lateral lobes; femur of leg 
I dark brown on inner side, es aes and hind coxe obliquely barred with
