legs, and most of ])asal three tergites of abdomen yellow. 

 Third and fourth tergites each with tliree fuscous spots in a 

 transverse series. Wings with a lai'ge spot, which is some- 

 times rather faint, before apex of second vein, which fills 

 the subcostal cell and usually extends almost or quite to 

 third vein. 



Lateral margins of fourth tergite entirely covered with 

 long dense inwardly-curved black bristles, and, ventrad of 

 these, two tufts of longer bristles, one on eacii side ; basal 

 portion ofhypopyginra with fine, slightly curled hairs above, 

 and Avith more sparse hairs and some long setulose hairs at 

 apex. Mid-femur with two or three long fine bristles on 

 basal half of antero-ventral surface, and a few short fine 

 bristles on postero-ventral surface ; hind tibia slender, 

 simple, with three stout short bristles on apical half of 

 postero-ventral surface. 



Female. — Similar to that of opicalis, the thorax more 

 distinctly vittate. 



Length 5-6 mm. 



Type, male, Kuranda, North Queensland, 13. v.-20. vi. 

 1913, 1100 feet [R. E. Turner) ; allotype, topotypical, 

 21. vi.-25. vii. (/?. E. Turner) ; paratypes, one male and four 

 females, Babinda, North Queensland (/. F. Illingworth) 

 [U.S. Nat. Mus.]. 



Pygophora apicalis, Schiner. 



This is the genotype. Originally described from Australia. 

 I have before me one male and one female from Victoria 

 (C. French), two females from Neutral Bay, S^'duey, New 

 South Wales (/. B. Cleland), and one female from Burpen- 

 gary, Queensland {T. L. Bancroft). 



Pygophora maculipennis, Stein. 



Originally described from Krakatau, Dutch East Indies* 

 I have before me two males and two females from Ceylon 

 {Yerbury). The female, like that of apicalis, lacks tlie dark 

 spot on costa of the wing, and is distinguished from that 

 species by the absence of thoracic vittae. 



Pygophora nigricauda, Bigot. 



Originally described from Ceylon. Unknown to me 

 except from description. 



Pygophora lobata, Stein. 



Originally described from New Guinea. I have before 

 me one male from Christmas Island (C JV. Andrews).
