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



the third. Pronotum arched posteriorly, not angulate, almost aa 

 long as the mesonotum ; scutellum depressed at the sides. Median 

 segment longer than the mesonotum, with a distinct median sulcus, 

 rather strongly emarginate at the apex, the apical slope almost 

 vertical. Second ventral segment convex, pygidium smooth. 

 Basal joint of the fore tarsi with four short spines, all the ungues 

 bifid. Third cubital cell pointed on the radius, subpetiolate. 



(J. Clypcus broadly and shallowly emarginate, the labrum ex- 

 posed. Head flattened, the front subcarinate longitudinally from 

 the anterior ocellus but grooved on the lower part towards the base 

 of the antennae, the posterior ocelli very near the hind margin of the 

 head ; antennae stout, tapering towards the apex, very little longer 

 than the thorax and median segment combined, fifth to eleventh 

 joints of the flagellum strongly arcuate beneath. Hind margin of 

 the pronotum with a distinct angle in the middle. Median segment 

 without a distinct sulcus, the apical slope less abrupt than in the 

 female and less deeply emarginate. First abdominal segment long, 

 second ventral segment convex, with a distinct, though shallow, 

 transverse impressed line near the base. Third cubital cell not quite 

 ])ointcd on the radius, but the third abscissa of the radius is ex- 

 tremely short. All the tarsal ungues bifid. The distance between 

 the base of the mandibles and the eyes is considerable. 



Hub. Queensland, Mackay {Turner), March; Brisbane, 

 (Hacker), January and February. 



The male has not been previously described ; the descrip- 

 tion is taken from two Mackay specimens ; the specimen 

 from Brisbane is without the transverse groove near the 

 base of the second ventral segment, but does not differ 

 otherwise. The female shows no trace of such a groove, 

 the presence of which in males is most remarkable. The 

 female has a strong superficial resemblance to Psnmmo- 

 chnres frontalis. Fabr., which belongs to another section 

 of the genus and has the tarsal ungues unidentate, not 

 bifid.
