ART. Ii. GENUS MESEMBRINELLA GIGLIO-TOS——ALDRICH. 5 
brown as in the preceding, and has a median brown line. Length, 
4.7 mm. ‘West Australia; bred from adults of the Scarabeid 
Anoplostethus opalinus Burm.” Coquillett suggests that Neophasia 
picta Brauer and Bergenstamm may be congeneric, founded on a 
female without antennae from West Australia. Their description, 
however, seems to show but little relationship. 
Type and paratype-—Male, Cat. No. 10431. Both bear distinct 
printed labels, ‘‘Tasmania, Austr. Arthur M. Lee, collector.”’ This 
disagrees with Coquillett’s indicated locality. 
PALPCOSTGMA DESVOIDYI, new species. 
Male.—Very similar to the two preceding, but differing by the 
characters given in the table; also by smaller size from testacea 
Second abdominal segment with a pair of median marginals, a space 
between them and the other marginals. 
Female.—Front 0.27 of head width above, slightly broader at 
antennae. 
Length of male, 4.4 mm. to 5 mm.; of female, 6 mm. 
Three males, two females, Cairns, North Queensland, Australia, 
J. F. Illingworth, collector. Two are reared from Lepidiota frenchir 
Blackburn, a scarabeid beetle injurious to sugar cane. 
Type and allotype—Male and female, Cat. No. 25242, U.S.N.M. 
One paratype of each sex is returned to Doctor Illingworth.
