slightly shorter : 2-4 wider than long, the 4th somewhat 

 widened : club rather compact, first joint as long as wide, 

 2-5 much wider than long. 



Hab : North Queensland (Harveys Ci-eek, near Cairns). 

 Described from two females caught on fohage of plants 

 in jungle country. 12th October, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Type : In the South Australian Museum, a $ on a 

 tag. the antennse and fore wings on a slide. 



The species SceUomorjiha riigulosa. Dodd. S. hyalini- 

 pennis, Dodd, S. montana, Dodd, and ^S'. nigricoxa, Dodd, 

 must be included here, since they possess the median carina 

 on the scutum, and the quadrate postscutellum. These 

 four and glabriscutelluin are closely related, but solitaria 

 is very distinct. The species of Sceliomorpha described 

 in this paper, will probably fall here, but at present the 

 types are not accessible to me.
