140 Sir. T. D. A, Cockerell — Descriptions and 



Hab. South Australia ; the specimen is 74 of the Froggatt 

 collection, and is labelled " S. Aust., W. W. F., Blackburn, 

 1909." 



By the character of the postscutellum, the large third 

 submarginal cell, &c., this falls next to P. tuberculatus, Ckll., 

 but it has a very different abdomen. 



Paracolletes hunierosus cyanurus, subsp. n.- 



? . — Length a little over 9 mm. 



Rather slender ; hair of vertex and dorsum of thorax 

 (except broad anterior corners of mesothorax) black ; the 

 large humeral hair-patches very conspicuous, white, with a 

 faint creamy tint ; abdomen shining, distinctly purplish, the 

 hind margins of the segments broadly reddened,; hair at 

 apex black ; pygidial plate bright ferruginous. The legs 

 agree with humerusus as described by Smith ; stigma and 

 nervures dark ferruginous ; first r. n. entering second s.m. 

 before middle (as in humerosus) ; third s.m. very broad 

 above. 



Hab. "Oaklev, Victoria'' (French, 1909; Froggatt coll. 



Possibly a distinct species, but certainly very close to 

 P. humerosus (Smith).
