A long series taken on blossom of Eucalyptus calophylla. 



Differs from the nearly allied //. minima described above 

 in the colour of the pleurae and median segment, in the larger 

 sizt j , the sculpture of the head and thorax, and the longer and 

 narrower mesonotum, also in the proportion of the joints of 

 the flagellum and other details.

Smith states that the two oblique sutures on the meso- 

 notum meet at the scutellum, which is apparently the reason 

 which led Kieffer to place the species in Aulacofcenus. But

 with P. pedunculatus, Sehlett., the type of Pseudoftjenus.
