110 Mr. Kowland E. Turner on 



Agathiella latibalteata, Cam. 

 Agathis latibalteata, Cam., Entomologist, xxxix, p. 2G, 1906. 



This is an Agathiella, not a true Agathis, having the face 

 short and broad and no parapsidal furrows. As far as I 

 am aware typical Agathis does not occur in Australia. 



Flab. Australia. 



Agathiella ruficeps, Szep.

From the description this must be very near latibalteata, 

 but the hind tibiae are white at the base instead of wholly 

 black, and the intermediate legs are red, not black. It 

 is also a smaller species.
