258 MR. R. E. TURNER ON THE [Feb. 15, 



Somewhat allied to E. aurigera Bingh., from the same locality, 

 but the thorax is much shorter and broader and also more coarsely 

 sculptured in the present species. It is remarkable that many 

 species were collected by Mr. Dodd at Townsville which are not 

 represented in the extensive collections of the Mutillidse formed 

 by Mr. Gilbert Turner at Mackay and Cairns. The range of 

 many species, at all events from north to south, must be extremely 

 limited. 



Ephutomorpha labeoulata, sp. n. 



2 . Head closely and rather coarsely punctured, a little broader 

 than the thorax, short and narrowed behind the eyes, without 

 distinct angles, narrowed anteriorly ; the carina? from the antennal 

 tubercles ill-defined and not reaching the eyes. Second joint of 

 the flagellum distinctly longer than the third. Eyes large and 

 very strongly convex, nearer to the occiput than to the base of 

 the mandibles. Thorax finely and very closely punctured-rugose, 

 broadest in the middle, a little longer than the greatest breadth, 

 the anterior margin straight, about one-quarter broader than the 

 posterior margin, the angles not prominent ; the posterior trun- 

 cation almost vertical, the lateral margins feebly serrate. Abdomen 

 ovate, very finely and closely punctured, the pygidium very finely 

 longitudinally striated. 



Black, with sparse, erect, grey pubescence ; the apex of the 

 first dorsal segment of the abdomen testaceous ; the head and 

 apex of thorax sparsely covered with recumbent silvery pubescence, 

 an oval spot of silver pubescence on each side of the second dorsal 

 segment, a transverse band at the apex of the same segment, and 

 a broad longitudinal band on the middle of the third, fourth, and 

 fifth segments also of silver pubescence. 



Length 5 mm. 



Hab. Townsville, Q. (F. P. Dodd), June. 



Ephutomorpha anchorites, sp. n. 



5 . Head subrectangular, slightly rounded at the posterior 

 angles, broader than long, as broad as the thorax, evenly but not 

 very closely punctured ; a carina on each side from the antennal 

 tubercle not reaching the eye. Second joint of the flagellum 

 distinctly longer than the third ; the flagellum rather stout in the 

 middle, the joints longer than broad. Eyes convex, not very 

 large, situated a little nearer to the base of the mandibles than to 

 the occiput. Thorax longer by one-third than the breadth on the 

 anterior margin, the sides nearly parallel, slightly narrowed 

 behind the middle, almost vertically truncate posteriorly, the 

 anterior margin straight, coarsely reticulate ; the pleura? almost 

 smooth. Abdomen subovate, the second segment evenly but not 

 very closely punctured, the remaining segments much more finely 

 punctured ; the basal segment very short, depressed below the
