Heteromastix flavoterntinalis , sp. n. 



cJ . Black; muzzle, ])r<)thorax, scutcllum, nicsostenium, 

 four front femora and til)iie, and apical and three basal joints 

 of autennse flavous, hind knees and trochanters obscurely 

 diluted with red. W\x\\ very short pubescence on most of 

 surface. 



Head wide and shining. Antennje moderately long and 

 rather stout, two aj)ical joints distorted. Prutliorax, elytra, 

 abdomen, and leys much as in preceding species. 



Length 3| mm. 



Hab. Queensland : Kuranda. 



In my table would be associated with bicolor, from which 

 it differs in being slightly larger and wider, much more of 

 legs and antennaj dark, and the latter stouter, with the two 

 apical joints of very ditlercnt shapes. The eleven.th from 

 most directions is apparently twice as long as the tenth, 

 constricted near apex, and on one side near base, on this 

 side fitted into tenth, so that only narrow portions of the 

 sides and base of the latter are visible; from another direc- 

 tion it appears to have an acute basal projection fitted into 

 a deep notch on the tenth ; from still another direction the 

 tenth seems to have a distinct extension overlapping the 

 base of the eleventh. The ninth is slightly smaller than 

 the eighth, and rather acute at one side of its apex. 



The strong general resemblance between many species of 

 this genus is remarkable ; colours and shapes of all parts, 

 except of the antennae of the male, are often almost or quite 

 identical, and yet the terminal joints of the antennae differ 

 to an astonishing extent.
