posticis dimidio basali, prope basin nigro-annulatis, albidis; alis 

 pallide fusco-hyalinis, stigmate venisque fuscis. 



$. Feminae similis. 



Long. 4 mm. ; terebrae long. 4 mm. 



$. Head smooth and shining, the face microscopically punctured. 

 Thorax shining, the parapsidal furrows distinct and fairly deep; the 

 transverse furrow at the base of the scutellum very feebly crenulated. 

 Median segment black, coarsely punctured-rugose, the sides of the 

 segment finely punctured. First tergite longer than its apical 

 breadth, very feebly rugulose in the middle; transverse line on the 

 second tergite very distinct. Hind femora punctured at the base. 

 Antennae 27-jointed. .Second cubital cell triangular, distinctly 

 petiolate.

 1914; Yallingup {Turner), October 1913. 



Differs from M. xanthopsis in colouring, in the longer 

 terebra, the deeper parapsidal furrows, the sculpture of 

 the first tergite and the less hairy median segment. 



Microdus martialis, sp. n. 



2. Rufo-testacea ; antennis, articulis duobus basalibus exceptis, 

 nigris; tarsis posticis fuscis; alis fusco-hyalinis, stigmate venisque 

 fuscis. 



<$. Feminaae similis. 



Variat: 2cT> Abdomine supra nigro. 



Long. 5 mm. ; terebrae long. 4 mm. 



2. Slender, smooth and shining, the face microscopically punc- 

 tured. Antennae 37-jointed, clothed with minute hairs. Parapsidal 

 furrows distinct, but rather shallow; the transverse furrow at the 

 base of the scutellum crenulated. Median segment shining and 

 almost smooth ; abdomen smooth and shining, the transA erse furrow 

 of the second tergite obsolete. 



Hab. N. Queensland, Kuranda (Turner), May 1913. 



The second cubital cell is petiolate. 



In addition to colour differences this species is easily 

 distinguished from xanthopsis and rufithorax by the greater 

 number of antennal joints, by the almost smooth median 

 segment and by the absence of a transverse groove on 

 1 lie second tergite.
