1910.] FOSSORIAL WASPS OF AUSTRALIA. 325 



third cubital cell ; submedian cell just longer than the median ; 

 cubitus of the hind wing originating well beyond the transverse 

 median nervure. 



Black, with a little very fine greyish pile ; mandibles f usco- 

 ferruginous, spines of the tibiae whitish. Wings navohyaline a,t 

 the base, as far as the basal nervure on the fore wing, thence 

 hyaline, crossed by two almost confluent pale fuscous bands; 

 nervines fulvous at the base, fuscous from the basal nervure. 



Length 9 mm. 



Hab. Mackay, Q. [Turner). 



The neuration differs somewhat from typical Calicurgus. 



CALICURGUS (?) BASIPENNIS St. AGNATUS, St. n. 



$ . Very near C. basij)ennis, from which it differs only in the 

 following points : the median segment is shorter and more steeply 

 sloped, the tibise, tarsi, and second joint of the flagellum are 

 ferruginous, and the colours of the wings darker. The third 

 abscissa of the radius is longer, being nearly or quite as long as 

 the second. 



Hab. Kuranda, Q. (Turner). November to February. 



This is almost certainly a mere geographical form of basipennis. 



FERREOLOMORPHA ARTEMIS, Sp. n. 



5 . Clypeus extremely short and broad, transverse, the labrum 

 exposed as long as the clypeus, broadly rounded at the apex. Head 

 longer than broad, slightly convex, the front strongly raised and 

 pointed at the base of the antennae ; eyes very narrowly separated 

 from the base of the mandibles, the inner margins parallel ; 

 posterior ocelli scarcely further from the eyes than from each 

 other. Antennas a little longer than the thorax aud median 

 segment combined ; the second joint of the flagellum about one- 

 fourth shorter than the third joint. Pronotum a little longer 

 than the mesonotum, nearly as broad as the head, the sides 

 parallel, distinctly broader than long, the posterior margin very 

 feebly arched, almost transverse. Median segment half as broad 

 again as long, vertically truncate posteriorly, with a well-marked 

 median sulcus on the dorsal surface. Abdomen subsessile, the 

 sides almost parallel ; second ventral segment with a transversa 

 groove. Opaque, with very short and rather irregularly dis- 

 tributed brownish pile, thickest on the median segment. Tarsal 

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

 tibiae spinose but not serrate, not quite cylindrical. Second 

 abscissa of the radius as long as the third, recurrent nervures 

 received at the middle of the second and third cubital cells ; 

 submedian cell equal in length to the median ; cubitus of the hind 

 wing in the type originating just beyond the transverse median 

 nervure, in another specimen intei-stitial with it. Wings rather 

 short, when closed not reaching the apex of the abdomen. 



Black ; antennae (except the three apical joints) orange-yellow, 

 a very narrow band of silver pile on the apical margin of the three
