74 Mr. R. E. Turner on New Species of 



cubital cell, which is twice as long on the cubitus as on 

 the radius, but no longer on the cubitus than the length 

 of the third transverse cubital nervure ; by the red colour 

 of the thorax and median segment, and by the unidentate 

 tarsal ungues. To this group belong — 



1. Psammo chares erythrostethus, Sm. 



Pompihis erythrostethus, Sm., Cat. Hvm. B. M., iii, p. 162, 



1855, O. 



The male of this wide-ranging species is unknown, but 

 I have seen a male closely resembling this female, but 

 with red legs, from Western Australia. 



Hah. S.W. Australia, Yallingup {Turner), November 

 to January; Tasmania, Eaglehawk Neck {Turner), 

 February; Queensland, Mackay. 



2. Psammochares perpulcher, sp. n. 



?. Rufo-ferruginea ; capite nigro; scapo subtus, mandibulis 

 clypeoque ferrugineis ; tarsis infuscatis ; alis hyalinis, tertio apicali 

 fasciaque mediana fuscis. 



Long. 7 mm. 



$. Second joint of the flagellum as long as the first and third 

 combined; the clypeus and lower part of the front clothed with 

 silver pubescence. Head finely and very closely punctured; 

 posterior ocelli further from the eyes than from each other. Thorax 

 closely and very distinctly punctured; pronotum very widely 

 arched posteriorly; scutellum subquadrate. Median segment 

 coarsely granulate, without a sulcus, with short, spare, white 

 pubescence. Abdomen shining, the punctures microscopic; sixth 

 dorsal segment with a few large scattered punctures, broadly 

 rounded at the apex. Fore tarsi with a short comb, the basal 

 joint with four short spines. Cubitus of the hindwing originating 

 just beyond the transverse median nervure. 



Hah. Queensland, Townsville {Dodd), August. 



Differs from erythrostethus in the smaller size, the sculp- 

 ture of the thorax, the colour of the abdomen and legs, 

 and the much shorter spines of the fore tarsi. 



Agenioideus expulsus, sp. n. 



$. Nigra ; pronoto margine postico late, tibiisque posticis macula 

 basali albidis; calcaribus pallidis; alis hyalinis, anticis fusco 

 bifasciatis, venis nigris.
