with a comb. Third abscissa of the radius half as long again as 

 the second ; first recurrent nervure received near the apex of the 

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

 cell ; transverse median nervure interstitial with the basal nervure ; 

 cubitus of the hind wing originating just before the transverse 

 median nervure. 



Opaque, pruinose ; a narrow frontal sulcus reaching the anterior 

 ocellus ; second ventral segment without a transverse groove. 



Black ; the posterior margin of the pronotum dull luteous ; 

 antenna?, femora, tibia?, and tarsi ferruginous ; the apex of the 

 median segment with shining silvery pubescence, an obscure 

 transverse band of dark grey pile at the base of the third abdominal 

 segment and a spot of the same at the apical angles of the second. 

 Wings hyaline, faintly tinged with yellow, crossed by two fuscous 

 bands, one on the basal nervure, the other, very broad, from the 

 radial cell. 



Length 11 mm. 



d . Clypeus at the apex pale luteous ; first dorsal segment of the 

 abdomen covered almost to the apex with rather long silvery 

 pubescence, a white transverse band much narrowed in the middle 

 at the base of the third segment. Abdomen somewhat compressed 

 laterally. 



Length 8 mm. 



Hah. Kuranda near Cairns, Q. (Turner). January and 

 February. 



Anoplius (Episyron) kurandensis, sp. n. 



2 ■ Clypeus short, more than three times as broad as long, 

 transverse at the apex. Eyes almost touching the base of the 

 mandibles, the inner margins parallel near the buse, curved 

 to wards, the vertex, where they are separated by a distance about 

 equal to the length of the two basal joints of the flagellum com- 

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

 each other. Antenna? longer than the thorax and median segment 

 combined ; the second joint of the flagellum more than half as 

 long again as the third. Pronotum short, depressed, rounded 

 at the angles, the posterior margin broadly arched. Median 

 segment deflexed, rounded posteriorly, about as long as broad. 

 Abdomen small, narrowly fusiform. Tarsal ungues bifid ; anterior 

 tarsi almost without a comb, only one or two spines on the basal 

 joint ; posterior tibia? spined. Second abscissa of the radius about 

 three times as long as the third, first and third about equal in 

 length ; second cubital cell longer on the cubitus than the third ; 

 first recurrent nervure received at two-thirds from the base of the 

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

 cell; transverse median nervure interstitial with the basal nervure; 

 cubitus of hind wing originating just before the transverse median 

 nervure. 



Opaque black; the apex of the clypeus broadly, but deeply 

 emarginate from the base in the middle, the inner orbits of the
