as broad, first abscissa of the radius nearly twice as long as the 

 second ; third cubital cell petiolate, the petiole occupying about one- 

 fourth of the length of the second transverse cubital nervure ; 

 transverse median nervure almost interstitial with the basal 

 nervure ; first recurrent nervure received at two-thirds from the 

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

 cubital cell ; cubitus of hind wing interstitial with the transverse 

 median nervure. 



Black, opaque, with cinereous pile on a broad band on the 

 anterior margin of the pronotum and on the base of each 

 abdominal segment from the second to the fifth inclusive ; 

 clypeus and face with silvery pile, the pile on the coxaa and thorax 

 beneath grey. Wings fuscous, with a darker band at the apex.

This is the only Australian species, so far as I know, in which 

 the third cubital cell is petiolate.

The sculpture on the median segment is more distinct in recent 

 specimens, which are also much larger, the Fabrician type being

 distinct.

I identify this species with some doubt, but my specimens 

 answer well to the short description.

S . Clypeus about twice as broad as long, slightly narrowed to 

 the apex which is transverse ; the labrum exposed, as long as the

 the base of the mandibles by a distance equal to about half the
