or less pale, yellow, testaceous, or ferruginous; the rest of the 

 antennae fuscous, somewhat testaceous in parts. Legs for the 

 most part piceous, 'but the base of the middle and hind tibiae 

 with a conspicuous white ring, and their tarsi white at the base. 

 Abdomen piceous black. Sculpture of thorax very like that of 

 F. koebelei^ of a similar nature, but considerably finer through- 

 out. Length about 5 mm. 



Male. Black, the two basal joints of antennae rufo-piceous, 

 tlie legs pale, the posterior femora and tibiae largely dark, black- 

 if;h or piceous, the intermediate also obscured in a lesser degree, 

 the tarsi nearly white, the base of hind tibiae also pallid. 



Head with a very dense, minute, coriaceous sculpture; meso- 

 notum somewhat shining in some aspects, with an excessively 

 Uiinute surface sculpture and some very ill-defined fine punct- 

 ures, propodeum reticulately rugose. Abdomen piceous black, 

 shining. 



Hab. On the Mulgrave near Cairns, Queensland. The male 

 was bred, but the female captured. I believe they are rightly 

 mated. 



CHLORODRYINUS gen. nov. 



Like Paradryinus in most respects, but dififers in the fact that 

 the extremely dehcate margin of the vertex posteriorly fails to- 

 wards the sides, not being continued distinctly round the sides of 

 the occipital concavity. The maxillary palpi are very long and 

 extended back, when fully extended along the middle line, well 

 behind the posterior margin of the head beneath. Pronotum in 

 profile with evenly convex outline, not of the humped form of 

 Paradryinus. The mesonotum is gently convex in profile, the 

 parapsidal furrows are distinct, crenulate, subconvergent, and 

 fail before attaining the hind margin. Basal joint of front tarsi 

 longer than the fourth. 



Chlorodryimis pallidiis, sp. nov. 



Testaceous, except a spot at the extreme base of the abdomen. 

 The body is however subject to some post-mortem discoloration. 

 Head dull, with extremely dense and minute sculpture, hardly 

 perceptible, except under a very strong lens. Antennae very 

 long and slender, the third joint about twice as long as the first 

 and second together. 



Pronotum smooth and shining, the dorsal outline in profile 

 forming a regular curve. Mesonotum dull, with very dense min-
