furrow, its apex is simply rounded with no projecting 

 "lobes." Fore-wings with the 1st cubital cell very short 

 and not completely closed, the very oblique 1st cubital n. 

 In caking off short without reaching the cubitus. In the $ 

 there is a conspicuous dusky fascia beneath the stigma 

 (PL XI, Fig. 13). Labial palpi 3-jointed, maxillary palpi 

 4- jointed (PI. XII, Fig. 15). . 11. Philomastix, Froggatt,

1.'}. Antennae only 7-jointed, the intermediate joints all short and 

 dilated towards their apices, forming together with the apical 

 joint a sort of club. Fore-wings with one radial cell and four 

 complete cubital cells, the second and third each receiving a 

 recurrent nerve. Hind-wings with one closed cell (a cubital). 

 Clypeus remarkably short and transverse, with the antennae 

 (as in Diphamorphus, ri<l<' infra) inserted just above it, and 

 therefore low down in the face. Scutellum punctured, sub- 

 triangular with a rounded apex and a narrow elevated margin.

(I do not know to what Subfamily this little insect should 

 be referred. The specimen is unique, and I have not been 

 able to dissect out the palpi. In certain characters it 

 resembles a very diminutive Perga, but the posterior 

 tibiae have no ante-apical spines.) 



— Antennae multiarticulate. In all j J and some $$ they are 

 pectinate (the pectination single -not, as in Palaearctic 

 " Lophyrus" Auctt., double!), but in most of the ( + j fchey 

 are merely serrate. Fore-wing with the 2nd cubital nerve 

 entirely wanting, so that the 2nd and 3rd cubital cells combine 

 to form a single long cell which receives both recurrent nerves.

The only species having this character yet recorded from 

 Australia is an undoubted alien, imported accidentally along 

 witli the fruit -t ices [Pyrus, etc.) on which it feeds. It is a 

 well-known pest in all parts of Europe and North America.
