224 Mr. R. E. Turner on the 



Braunsia wallacei, sp. n. 



J. Ferruginea ; antennis, articulis duobus basalibus exceptis, 

 segraentis dorsalibus tertio scquentibusquc, valvulisque nigris ; 

 tarsis posticis^infuscatis ; alis fuscis, unicoloribus. 



Long. 9 mm. ; terebra) long. 6 mm. 



$ . Antennae rather slender ; mesonotum in front without 

 grooves. Median segment with one well-defined longitudinal 

 carina from the base to the middle, continued less distinctly 

 in a depression to the apex, the ' sides of the depression 

 indistinctly margined. First tergite a little less than twice 

 as long as its apical breadth, the apical half strongly longi- 

 tudinally striated ; second tergite and basal area of the third 

 coarsely longitudinally striated, apical area of the third 

 tergite entirely smooth ; basal area of the second tergite 

 equal to the apical area of the third and distinctly longer 

 than either of the two intermediate area?. First cubital and 

 first discoidal cells not divided ; second cubital cell sub- 

 triangular, almost pointed on the radius, with a distinct stump 

 of a nervure springing from the second transverse cubital 

 nervure, the stump somewhat longer than that nervure. 

 An oblique, irregular, hyaline streak runs outwards from the 

 base of the stigma. 



Hub. Dorei, New Guinea {Wallace). 



Braunsia divers ipennis, sp. n. 



J . Rufo-ferrugineus ; capite nigro, mandibulis palpisque testaceis ; 

 tarsis posticis fuscis ; alis dimidio basali tlavis, dimidio apicali 

 t'useis ; stigmate, maculaque magna sub stigmate cellula cubitali 

 secunda includente flavis. 



Long. 11 mm. 



S . Eyes large and round ; antenna) stout, the second 

 joint very short and broad. Mesonotum in front without 

 grooves, the parapsidal furrows strongly developed. Median 

 segment with two median longitudinal carina), which converge 

 towards the base and unite before the base. First tergite 

 strongly longitudinally striated, the stria) not continued to 

 the base, the basal half with strong lateral carinte ; the 

 segment about twice as long as its apical breadth. Second 

 tergite and basal area of the third tergite coarsely longitu- 

 dinally striated, the two divisions of the second tergite equal 

 in length, longer than the striated basal area of the third 

 tergite, but distinctly shorter than the entirely smooth apical 

 area of that segment.
