200 Mr. R. E. Turner on new 



Hab. Eaglehawk Neck, S.E. Tasmania {Turner), February 

 1913. One female. 



Differs from fluvialis in the proportion of the antennal 

 joints, the shape of the head, the sculpture of the thorax 

 and median segment, the length of the terebra, in colour, 

 and other details. 



Frrnus autumnalis. sp. n. 



2 . Nigra ; mandibulis apice excepto, tegulis, pedibusque anticis 

 intermediisque ferrugineis ; tibiis anticis interinediisque supra, 

 tibiis posticis macula basali, tarsis anticis, tarsis intermediis 

 articulis tribus basalibus, tarsisque posticis, basi apiceque ex- 

 ceptis, albis ; terebra, petiolo multo breviore, testacea ; valvulis 

 apice albidis, incrassatis ; alis hyalinis, venis fuscis ; stigmato 

 pallido, fusco-marginato. 



Long. 14 mm. ; terebraa long. 2-5 mm. 



$ . Head opaque, somewhat elongate, slightly swollen 

 behind the eyes, the hind margin distinctly carinate. Eyes 

 separated from the hind margin of the head by a distance 

 equal to about one-third of their own length ; posterior 

 ocelli level w r ith the summit of the eyes, twice as far from 

 each other as from the eyes ; cheeks very short, not half as 

 long as the first joint of the fiagellum ; a longitudinal carina 

 between the antennae. Second joint of the fiagellum more 

 than half as long again as the first, the third joint distinctly 

 longer than the first and second combined. Neck short ; 

 pronotum with a very short and small spine at each angle ; 

 mesonotum opaque, coriaceous, "with two very short longi- 

 tudinal impressed lines from the anterior margin; scutellum 

 with well-defined marginal carinae ; median segment rather 

 coarsely rugose-reticulate, with a rather indistinct median 

 carina ; hind coxae coriaceous. Hind metatarsus no longer 

 than the four apical tarsal joints combined, the basal third 

 black, the apical half of the fifth tarsal joint also black. 

 Terebra scarcely half as long as the petiole. 



Hab. Kalamunda, S.W. Australia (Turner), March 1914. 

 Eour females. 



Closely allied to valvularis, Schlett., but differs in the 

 lesser development of the angles of the pronotum, in the 

 sculpture of the median segment, and in the shorter cheeks. 

 F. fuscimanus, Kieff., has the terebra distinctly longer, the 

 cheeks longer, and the sculpture of the thorax rather 

 stronger ; and F. valens, Kieff., is a much larger insect, 

 more robust, with the sculpture of the median segment 

 tending; to transverse striae and the coxae black.
