Types: Xo. Hy o5.j1. Queensland ^luseuni. Brisbane, the foregoing 

 specimens. 



Mr. A. P. Dodd made the following notes before sending the specimens: 

 Head transverse (dorsal aspect) ; antenme inserted wide apart, well below the 

 middle of the face. Thorax a little longer than wide ; scutum with dense scaly 

 reticulation, the parapsidal furrows wide apart ; scutellum nearly smooth, 

 separated from the scutum by a transverse sclerite; scutellum large. Abdomen 

 short and stout, with a short petiole, the second segment rising abruptly from 

 it. this segment occupying nearly half the surface, its caudal margin convex. 



EOMYMAR MAXmUS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 0.60 mm. Thorax without a phragma (with one in 

 Dicopus psyche ) . 



Differs markedly from psyche in its greater size; funicles 2-4 are not 

 subequal but 3 is longest while 2 is subequal to i; funicle 1 is only two thirds 

 the length of the pedicel; the proximal half of the fore wing is distinctly 

 infuscated. the rest hyaline ; the disto-cephalic edge of the fore wing is broadly 

 enbrowned. Scape and pedicel pallid ; transverse scutellum orange yellow. 

 Funicle 3 not quite twice the length of 1 which is two thirds longer than wide. 

 The fore wings are very much broader. Fore wings with a paired row of seta^ 

 along each margin and midlongitudinally with about eight setie in a line but 

 somewhat irregular (smd equally distant from apex of blade and apex of the 

 venation "i . ^Marginal cilia of the fore wing very long. The scutellum is preceded 

 by a rather broad, transverse sclerite and itself is much wider than long and 

 divided along the meson, there longest.

Antennae of female 8-jointed, the scape elongate, the second joint dilated 

 and much wider than the following, third slender, elongate, rather shorter than 

 the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, increasing in width, club nearly as long as 

 the four preceding. Antennae of male lO-jointed, the scape elongate, .second 

 wider than the following, third elongate, but shorter than the fourth, which is 

 subequal to the following joints. Posterior ocelli close to the eye-margins, the 

 three following forming a triangle with extremely wide base. Tarsi 5-jointed.

 of the male. ) 



Alapfus immafiirus, sp. nov.

 posterior margin ; abdominal segments with obscure sub-quadrate, lateral, 

 blackish or sordid spots. Antennae with two basal joints pale, the rest dark. 

 Length f mm. 



Hab: Bundaberg, Queensland, bred from cane leaves containing leaf- 

 hopper eggs, but I do not feel sure that it is parasitic on these."
