  Two 
  females, 
  one 
  male

  "

   The 
  male 
  quite 
  probably 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  different

  I 
  have 
  sent 
  specimens 
  of 
  australis 
  to 
  Mr. 
  J. 
  C. 
  Crawford 
  

   of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  National 
  Museum, 
  who 
  has 
  compared 
  

   them 
  with 
  the 
  types 
  oi 
  froggatti, 
  pronouncing 
  them 
  to 
  be 
  

   identical. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  common 
  species 
  ranging 
  from 
  the 
  

   Northern 
  Territory 
  to 
  New 
  South 
  Wales. 
  

  

  Scelio 
  brasiliensis

  I 
  have 
  seen 
  a 
  male 
  of 
  what 
  I 
  take 
  to 
  be 
  this 
  species 
  

   collected 
  by 
  C. 
  B. 
  Williams 
  in 
  British 
  Cuiana.

  . 
  I 
  think 
  I 
  have 
  identified 
  the 
  species 
  correctly. 
  

   The 
  femora 
  are 
  a 
  little 
  brownish; 
  the 
  male 
  antennae 
  are 
  

   black, 
  the 
  flagellum 
  a 
  little 
  brownish, 
  the 
  third 
  flagellar 
  

   joint 
  distinctly 
  enlarged.
