50 Mr. T. D. A. Cockerell—Deseriptions and 
joint ferruginous, and anterior tibiz largely red in front ; 
tegule dark brown. Wings hyaline ; stigma rather small, 
reddish with a dark margin ; nervures fuscous ; b.n. almost 
reaching t.-m. ; first r. n. joining second s.m. before middle, 
second r. n. joining third s.m. very near end; marginal cell 
rounded at end; third s.m. elongated, and very broad above. 
Apical plate of abdomen red, rounded, subtruncate. 
Hab. Yallingup, Dec. 1-12, 1913 (R. E. Turner ; British 
Museum). / 
Very close to P. incanescens, Ckll., which has the same 
type of clypeus, but third submarginal cell quite differently 
shaped, abdomen more finely punctured, and flagellum red 
at end. 
Paracolletes minutus, sp. 0. 
¢.—Length a little over 6 mm. 
Shining black, but head, thorax, and abdomen closely 
and very distinctly punctured, the hind margins of abdo- 
minal segments depressed and broadly brown ; hair of head 
and thorax white, tinged with brown on vertex and scutellum, 
sides of face and lower part of front with long pure white 
hair ; abdomen without hair-bands ; head broad, but facial 
quadrangle much longer than broad, narrowing below ; 
mandibles ferruginous, only the base black ; clypeus flattened 
in middle, with large punctures ; front very densely punc- 
tured; flagellum obscure brown beneath; mesothorax 
densely and strongly punctured, scutelluam with very dense 
smaller punctures; area of metathorax dull and rugose; 
pleura strongly punctured; legs black, with white hair, 
anterior tibiz reddish in front; tegulze pellucid brown. 
Wings rather short, dusky hyaline; stigma lanceolate, 
reddish with dark margin; nervures fuscous; marginal 
cell narrowly rounded at end; b. n. falling just short of 
t.-m.; second s.m. receiving first r. n. well before middle; 
third s.m. broad above, receiving second r. n. a moderate 
distance (equal to distance of first r. n. from base of second 
s.m.) from apex. Abdomen, except the broad depressed 
apical margins of segments, densely and finely punctured, 
with elevated ridges at sides just before the depressions ; 
third and fourth ventral segments with long fringes of 
white hair, fifth with a fringe of very short yellowish hair.

Easily known from P. punctatus (Sm.) by the closely 
punctured thorax and colour of antennz and neryures.
