basal abdominal segments. Wings fusco-hyaline, a flavo-hyaline 

 lunule at the apex of the radial and third cubital cells, extending 

 about half-way to the outer margin beyond the third transverse 

 cubital nervnre. 



Length 8-11 mm. 



Hab. Mackay, Q. {Turner). 



1 think I am correct in assigning this species to Ashmead's 

 genus Ferreolomorpha, with which the neuration agrees well, but 

 his description is somewhat brief. 



Anoplius ahrimanes, sp. n. 



$ . Clypeus short and very broad, transverse at the apex, 

 slightly convex. Eyes separated from the base of the mandibles 

 by a distance considerably less than the length of the first joint of 

 the flagellum, their inner margins slightly sinuate and converging 

 towards the vertex, where they are separated by a distance 

 slightly exceeding the length of the third joint of the flagellum ; 

 posterior ocelli as far from each other as from the eyes. 

 Antennae as long as the head, thorax, and median segment 

 combined ; the second joint of the flagellum nearly half as long 

 again as the third. Front not raised into tubercles at the base 

 of the antennae, the frontal sulcus very short. Head not flattened, 

 moderately thick. Pronotum a little more than half as long as 

 the mesonotum, rounded at the anterior angles, the arch of the 

 posterior margin not angulate in the middle. Median segment 

 subtuberculate on the sides before the stigma and with a, blunt 

 lateral tubercle before the posterior angles, nearly twice as broad 

 as long, with a deep median sulcus and almost vertically truncate 

 posteriorly. Thorax finely aciculate ; median segment opaque. 

 Abdomen subsessile, smooth and slightly shining, elongate fusi- 

 form ; the apical segment long and narrow, finely punctured ; 

 second ventral segment without a transverse groove, but not 

 quite even, showing a very obscure transverse depression. Tarsal 

 ungues with one tooth ; anterior tarsi with a long comb ; posterior 

 tibiae spined, not serrate, almost cylindrical. Third cubital cell 

 very short on the radial nervure, only one-fifth of the length of the 

 second, but nearly as long as the second on the cubital nervure ; 

 first recurrent nervure received close to the apex of the second 

 cubital cell, second beyond the middle of the third cubital cell ; 

 transverse median nervure interstitial with basal nervure; cubitus 

 of hind wing interstitial with the transverse median nervure. 



Black ; the orbits of the eyes narrowly whitish grey, not 

 reaching the summit. Wings black. 



Length 24 mm. 



Rah. Townsville, Q. (Dodd). 



This species approaches the genus Cryptocheilus. 



Anoplius atavus, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 7, $ .) 



2 . Clypeus transverse at the apex, short, more than twice as 

 broad as long. Eyes separated from the base of the mandibles by
