equal to the length of the three ba,sal joints of the flagellum 

 combined ; the posterior ocelli a little further from the eyes than 

 from each other. Antennae rather stout, scarcely as long as the 

 thorax and median segment combined ; the second and third joints 

 of the flagellum about equal in length, the fourth a little longer. 

 Pronotum about one-third shorter than the mesonotum, slightly 

 rounded anteriorly, more than twice as broad as long, the 

 posterior margin very feebly arched. Median segment about half 

 as broad again as long, with a shallow median sulcus, vertically 

 truncate posteriorly, the face of the truncation coarsely trans- 

 versely striated. Abdomen subsessile, fusiform. Tarsal ungues 

 with one tooth ; anterior tarsi without a comb ; posterior tibiae 

 spinose, with a distinct ridge. Second abscissa of the radius 

 nearly half as long again as the third ; first recurrent nervure 

 received at the middle of the second cubital cell, second at the 

 middle of the third cubital cell; submedian cell longer than the 

 median ; cubitus of hind wing interstitial with the transverse 

 median nervure. Opaque, pruinose. 



Black ; antennae orange-yellow ; apex of clypeus, labrum, 

 mandibles, tegulae and legs f usco-ferruginous. Wings subhyaline, 

 crossed by a fuscous band on the basal nervure and by another, 

 very broad, from the radial cell, the apex pale fuscous. Three 

 basal dorsal segments of the abdomen with narrow bands of 

 silver pile on the apical margin. Spines of the tibiae whitish. 



Length 13 mm.

Specimens from Mackay have the legs black, except the 

 anterior tibiae and tarsi. 



CALICURGUS (?) BASIPENNIS, Sp. n. 



5 . Clypeus short, broadly truncate at the apex. Eyes almost 

 touching the base of the mandibles, their inner margins slightly 

 curved, separated on the vertex by a distance equal to the 

 combined length of the two basal joints of the flagellum ; 

 posterior ocelli a little nearer to the eyes than to each other. 

 Antennae longer than the thorax and median segment combined ; 

 the second joint of the flagellum half as long again as the third. 

 Front very slightly raised at the base of the antennae, with a short 

 median sulcus. Pruinose and slightly shining. Head not very 

 flat. Pronotum only a, little shorter than the mesonotum, a little 

 narrower than the head, rounded at the angles, the posterior 

 margin scarcely arched. Median segment about half as broad 

 again as long, obliquely deflexed near the apex. Abdomen 

 subsessile, fusiform ; the second ventral segment with a feeble 

 transverse groove. Posterior tibiae spinose, anterior tarsi with- 

 out a comb ; tarsal ungues bifid. Second abscissa of the radius 

 more than half as long again as the third ; the second cubital cell 

 higher than long, much shorter than the third on the cubital 

 nervure ; first recurrent nervure received beyond two-thirds from 

 the base of the second cubital cell, second at the middle of the
