 tinged with ferruginous. Antennae ochreous. Abdomen dull- 

 grey, thickly clothed above and on sides with long black hairs 

 (absent in 9)j beneath smooth. Legs blackish, anterior and

 to middle of termen ; a small spot at apex ; cilia ferruginous- 

 fuscous, with a blackish basal line. 



Cooktown and Cairns (Dodd), Queensland. Two speci-

 which appears to be this species, but not being in the best 

 of condition admits of some doubt.
