222 Mr. K. E. Turner on the 



Cremnops xantho stigma, Szep. 

 Cremnops xanthostigma, Sz6p. Terrues. Fuzetek. xxiii. p. 61 (1900). £ . 



A specimen from Kuranda, N. Queensland, agrees fairly 

 well with the description, but has only a small yellow spot at 

 the base of the stigma. A series of males from Mackay show 

 variations in this mark, which is usually fairly large and 

 triangular as in Szepligeti's description. 



Hah. New Guinea {Biro) ; Kuranda (Turner), May 1913 ; 

 Mackay {Turner), January 1898. 



C. fulgidipennis, Cam, (1911), from the Solomon Islands, 

 is extremely close to this, but has the terebra rather longer 

 and the yellow spot at the base of the stigma almost obsolete. 

 Cameron placed the species in Agat'his ; but it is a Cremnops. 



Cremnops dissimilis, sp. n. 



$ . Rufo-ferruginea ; capite, segmento mediano, femoribus posticis, 

 tibiis posticis apice, tarsisque posticis, abdomine segmento 

 quarto sequentibusque, valvulisque terebra? nigris ; alis fuscis, an- 

 ticis basi ad nervulum, fasciaque lata sub stigmate, posticis tertio 

 basali fasciaque lata post medium flavis. 



<f . Feminse similis ; alis basi etiam fuscis, anticis fascia irregulari 

 fiavo-hyalina sub stigmate. 



Long. 8 mm. ; terebrae long. 4 mm. 



? . Face shining, finely punctured ; marginal carinas of 

 the frontal depression extending to the posterior ocelli. 

 Middle lobe of the mesonotum marked with two distinct and 

 narrow longitudinal grooves separated from each other by 

 a distinct carina. Median segment with coarse transverse 

 stripe and the usual longitudinal carinas, the two middle carinas 

 diverging slightly towards the apex, a small enclosed trian- 

 gular area at the base of the posterior truncation. First 

 tergite twice as long as its apical breadth in the female, con- 

 siderably shorter in the male. Second cubital cell subquadrate. 

 The stigma is almost entirely yellow in the female, but 

 fuscous on the apical half in the male.
