The second abscissa of the radius is longer than in australis 

 Cam., and the petiole is longer ; it is also a smaller species.

Nearly allied to P. fasciata Fabr., but is a larger insect. The 

 female has the antennae shorter and stouter than in fasciata ; the 

 clypeus shorter, less convex and more broadly truncate at the 

 apex ; the abdomen less distinctly petiolate, the apical segment 

 more pointed, and the wings clouded with fuscous. 



Sab. Victoria and New South Wales. 



PSEUDAGENIA CORNELIA, Sp. n. 



5 . Clypeus very short, broadly rounded anteriorly, very 

 slightly convex. Head thin ; eyes touching the base of the 

 mandibles ; ocelli situated very near the posterior margin of the 

 head, the posterior pair near together, more than half as far 

 again from the eyes as from each other. Antennae longer than 

 the head, thorax and median segment combined ; the second joint 

 of the flagellum half as long again as the first. Thorax narrower 

 than the head ; pronotum rounded anteriorly, much shorter than 

 the mesonotum. Median segment flattened, finely granulate, 

 opaque, as long as broad, narrowed to the apex. Abdomen shining, 

 elongate-ovate, with a short petiole, the apical segment narrow 

 and pointed. Second abscissa of the radius less than half as long 

 as the first ; first recurrent nervure received before the middle of 

 the second cubital cell, second at one-third from the base of the 

 third cubital cell ; submedian cell very little longer than the 

 median ; cubitus of hind wing interstitial with the transverse 

 median nervure. 



Black ; the antennae orange-yellow, the scape black at the base, 

 the apical joint fuscous. Wings hyaline, with a fuscous mark at 

 the base of the radial cell extending through the second cubital 

 cell into the discoidal cell. 



Length 7 mm.

PSEUDAGENIA CONSOCIATA, sp. n. 



2 . Clypeus less than twice as broad as long, feebly bisinuate 

 on the rather narrow apical margin, with a very short tooth in 

 the middle, slightly convex. Eyes slightly convergent towards 

 the vertex, almost touching the base of the mandibles ; posterior 

 ocelli about half as far again from the eyes as from each other. 

 Antennae moderately long ; second joint of the flagellum fully half
