98. PARALASTOR ICARIOIDES, sp.n. (Pl. I. fig. 2.) 
Colore et picturatione fere P. mesochloro var. mesochloroidet 
assimilis, maculis scutellaribus, propodealibus et postscutellaribus 
cum abdominis segmento primo citrinis, sed tegulis minute et 
copiose punctatis facillime distinguendus. 
This species varies in details of coloration, the pronotum 
above being sometimes nearly all red, sometimes only spotted 
with red in front, and may have two quite distinct yellow spots 
in the red colour. The clypeus may be entirely yellow in the male 
or yellow only at the base, the rest being reddish or brownish 
red. In the female it is usually red, sometimes, however, more or 
less yellow at the sides towards the base. The inner orbits may 
be yellow or red, or with the markings wanting. The second 
abdominal segment is all black or may become piceous along the 
apical margin, or with a brownish apical fascia. The wings are 
vellowish along the costa, the marginal cell conspicuously infumate, 
the stigma pale. The apical margin of the second abdominal seg- 
ment is strongly depressed, the flattened margin wide. Antenne 
brown, often paler beneath, sometimes nearly wholly fulvescent, 
the scape yellow in front in the male. Length 7-9 mm.; the 
former measurement from a small male. 
I have examined fourteen examples. The species is quite 
distinct from P. mesochlorus by the different scutellum, apart 
from the tegular sculpture. 
Hab. Queensland, Townsville (Dodd & Stalker); Kuranda near 
Cairns (Zurner §& Dodd); Cairns, taken by myself.

I have in the first part (g. v.) of this paper suggested the 
probable position of some of the following species or otherwise 
referred to them :—
