? . Head small, narnnvcr than the tliorax, closely punc- 

 tmeil-rugose, stionj^ly rounded behind the eyes ; second 

 joint of the tlagelluiu no longer than the third ; mandibles 

 small, a feeble tooth on the inner margin near the apex ; a 

 cnrved carina from l)elo\v the eyes to the antennal tuljerclcs ; 

 a patch of long white pubescence on each side of the vertex. 

 Thorax a little longer than the greatest breadth, the sides 

 almost parallel, sharply but not strongly narrowed just 

 ])ehind the mi<ldle, closely punctured, the median segment 

 coarsely reticulate. Abdomen subsessile ; the second dorsal 

 segment very little longer than the greatest breadth, the 

 sides rather strongly convex, closely and rather finely 

 punctured ; pygidial area finely longitudinally striated at 

 the base. Ilind tibiiC with a row of delicate spines on the 

 outer side. 



Hub. Yallingup, S.W. Australia ; October to December. 



Nearly allied to hirtella described above, but may be dis- 

 tinguished by the shorter and broader thorax and second 

 dorsal segment, and the different distribution of the bands 

 of pubescence. 



Ephutomorpha (eneifrons, Andre. 



Ephiitomorpha ceiteifrons, Andr^, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, Ixxii. p. 441 

 (1903). $. 



The type is from Port Darwin. The species also occurs 

 at Fremantle, W.A. (J. J. Walker) ; Yallingup, W.A., 

 l>ecember [Turner) ; and S. Australia (coll. F. Smith). 

 Var. cn/jreiventrls, Andre, from Townsville, seems to be a 

 local race of this, the thorax being more distinctly narrowed 

 posteriorly.

Var. Mutilla uuriccjjf', Sni. Descr. New Spec. Hymen, p. 201 (1879). 2 . 



The type, doubtless taken at Cooktown, is in the Banksiau 

 collection, and is identical with specimens taken by me at 

 Cape York. M. auriceps, Sm., is a form with golden pubes- 

 cence on the head, which occurs southwards from Mackay. 

 The species referred to 2^% formicaria by Andre (Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. France, p. 4-12, 1903) is a different species, whicli I 

 have subsequently (Proe. Zool. Soc. London, 1910j described 

 as E. gilesi. 



Ephutomorpha subcristata, sp. n. 



$ . Pallido-ferruginea, aureo-piiosa ; abdomine nigro ; segmento 

 priiuo dorsali fascia aj)icali testacea ; secuiido macula magna
