basi oblique striata; alis hyalinis, apice leviter infumatis, venis 
fuscis, stigmate testaceo. 
Long. 10 mm. 
?. Clypeus with the lamina free from the base, short and 
broadly emarginate at the apex; the apical margin of the 
clypeus below the lamina broadly truncate. The whole 
dorsal surface and the mesopleuree closely and rather coarsely 
punctured ; antennze inserted about half as far again from 
the anterior ocellus as from the base of the clypeus ; second 
joint of the flagellum slightly longer than the third. Pro- 
notum rounded at the anterior angles ; enclosed area of the 
median segment obliquely striated at the base, opaque, and 
microscopically punctured at the apex. First abdominal 
segment more than half as broad again as long; pygidial 
area twice as long as broad, broadly truncate at the apex, the 
sides almost parallel. 
Hab. Mackay, Q. (G. Turner). 
One female only. 
I had overlooked this species until lately, though the 
specimen has been in my collection for many years. It is 
nearly allied to C. opposita, Sm., but differs much in colour ; 
the lamina of the clypeus is broader and more deeply emar- 
ginate; the striation of the enclosed area of the median 
seoment is confined to the basal half; the petiole is narrower 
and the pygidial area much broader.

©. Nigra; mandibulis basi, elypeo, pronoto, mesopleuris macula 
sub alis, scutello macula magna, postscutello fascia transversa, 
segmento dorsali secundo fascia angusta apicali lateribus dilatata, 
segmentisque dorsalibus 3-5 fascia angusta apicali flavis ; flagello 
apice infuscato, tegulis, callis humeralibus, pygidio, femoribus 
apice, tiblis tarsisque brunneo-testaceis; alis hyalinis, leviter 
infumatis, venis fuscis. 
6. Femine similis; segmento dorsali sexto apice flavo-fasciato ; 
septimo flavo. 
Long., 2 7 mm., d 5-6 mm. 
2. Eyes strongly converging towards the base of the 
antennee, thence diverging again towards the clypeus ; sepa- 
rated at the base of the antennze by a distance about equal to 
the length of the scape. Clypeus very broadly truncate at 
the apex, more than twice as broad at the apex as long, very
