DESCRIPTIONS OF AUSTRALIAN ^.SCHNIN.E. 27 



Two other records o£ this fine insect heave been made since my captures at 

 Tambourine — viz., a single male taken at the head of the Coudamine River, 

 near Killarney^ Queensland, by Mr. E. J. Dumigan, Jan. 1913; and a fine 

 male taken by Mr. Goldfinch at Stanwell Park, N.S.W., in Feb. 1913. 

 Mr. E. P. Dodd took a single female at Herberton, N. Queensland, in Jan, 

 1911, and Mr. E. Cheel a damaged female at Hill Top in Feb. 1912. The 

 measurements of these different specimens are given in the appended 

 description. 



cJ . Wing s. — Neuration brown, costa russet-brown ; a conspicuous band 

 of dark russet-brown running along the whole costal length of the wing ; 

 from base to nodus this band fills the subcostal space, but only encroaches on 

 the costal space basally and again near the nodus ; it also fills the radio- 

 median space from arculus to nodus ; beyond nodus it fills both costal and 

 radial spaces completely to tip of wing. Pterostigma 6 mm., rose-pink. 

 Memhranule: fore small, 1*5 mm., whitish ; hind 2"5 ram. long by 1*2 mm. 



wide, whitish. Nodal Indicator j 27I29' 35-36 • 



Head. — Eyes, occipital triangle, and vertex dark brown ; front russet- 

 brown at base, shading to blackish along the transverse ridge of the anvil- 

 shaped projection ; the whole face, including distal part of front, clypevs, 

 gence, and lahruin clear ochreous ; labium dark brown, mouth edged with 

 black. 



T h o r a x. — Protlwrax inconspicuous, brown. Meso- and metailiorax dark 

 chocolate-brown ; dorsal ridge raised into an obtuse-angled semi-transparent 

 spine ; a pair of regular cream-coloured humeral bands running from hiter- 

 alar ridge down to just above mesocoxa ; a pair of almost parallel and similar 

 lateral bands running from between the wing-bases to base of metacoxa, and 

 continued backwards more darkly and faintly across notuin, which is dark 

 brown. Underside with a large inverted V-shaped cream-coloured mark 

 running out enlarged on to sides of segment 1 and part of 2 of abdomen. 

 Legs rather short, strong, brown except upper part of prefemora and all 

 tarsi, which are blackish ; protibise with an outer set of 8-9 stiff cilia, an 

 inner set of 4-5 smaller, followed by an apical comb of short closely-set 

 bristles ; other tibise with two undifferentiated sets of 8-10 stiff cilia. 



Abdomen. — 1-2 swollen, 3 much pinched basally, 4-10 slightly widen- 

 ing from 3 mm. across 4 to 4 mm. across apex of 10. Colour dark brown, 

 with slight shading to medium brown on 1, base and apex of 3 laterally, 

 apices of 4-6 laterally, and on dorsum of 9-10. 1-2 with creamy sublateral 

 extension of thoracic V-mark ; auricles of 2 large, brown ; genitalia of 2 

 bordered on each side by a conspicuous straight narrow band of cream- 

 colour, tergal margins of 2 enormous, partly concealing the genital fossa ; 

 spines of anterior lamina rather small, sharp, partly hidden by irregularly 

 placed soft hairs, as are also the somewhat elongated oval anterior hamuli.
