28G Rev. F. D. Morice's Notes on Australian Sawflies. 



— Abdomen almost entirely red, with no white markings at the 



sides or beneath. Clypeus black. A patch of scale-like 

 hairs occurs in the fore-wings only.* Apex of clypeus simply 

 rounded on each side, with no reflexed margin, nor appear- 

 ance of dentiform corners latreillii, Leach. 



Type in B.M. 



18. Abdomen with its basal half mostly luteous, the apical segments 



only being chalybeous ... A. univittata, W. V. Kirby. 



Co-types in B.M. (The Type is a $.) 



- Dorsum of abdomen practically chalybeous tin ougliout . . 19. 



19. Basal joints of antennae, hind femora, and apices of hind tibiae 



blackened X. lalage, W. F. Kirby. 



Type in B.M. 



— Antennae and legs altogether testaceous or luteous ... 20. 



20. Vertex shining and almost impunctate. Middle lobe of meso- 



notum with a conspicuous V-shaped yellow mark defining 

 its posterior (= basal) angle. The scutellum is not entirely 

 yellow, its apical half being partly occupied by a subtriangular 

 impressed space of darker (brownish) colour. 



(The 2)uncturation both of head and thorax in this species 

 is much less dose than in jurinei and the surface very much 

 more shining.) A. amenaida, W. F. Kirby. 



Type in B.M. 



- Middle lobe of mesonotum only touched with yellow at its 



extreme base (no conspicuous V-shaped mark !). Scutellum 

 entirely yellow. 



Puncturation of head and thorax dense and " granulose," 

 the surface consequently appearing completely dull. 



X. jurinei, W( stw. 



Type at Oxford. 



The dt her described forms of Xyloperga are all $$, 

 mostly unique specimens at Oxford or in B.M., and their 

 $$ have yet to be discovered. 



:: This, a1 any rate, is the ease with the Type; which, however, 



is of course a very old specimen, though it seems in fail' 

 condition.
