basal vein delicate but rather distinct, otherwise much as in 

 (uij-eipes. Pedicel nearly twice as long as greatest width, the 

 funicle joints somewhat narrower, the first fully twice as long 

 as greatest width, the fifth one-half longer than wide ; club 

 6-jointed (5-jointed ?), the first joint narrower than others, 

 longer than wide, 2-5 barely wider than long, the last joint 

 somewhat longer. Length, 1"60 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Yungaburra, 2,500 ft. One female, 

 taken with aureipes. 



Type. — I. 5118, South Australian Museum. A female on 

 a tag, antennae and forewings on a slide. 



POLYPRIA, n. g. 



9 . Head, viewed from above, distinctly wider than 

 long, the vertex with two or three obtuse raised ridges across 

 it, and scattered punctures; eyes large, bare; ocelli large; 

 antennal prominence small, inconspicuous ; maxillary palpi 

 5-jointed, the labials 3-jointed. Antennae 13-jointed ; scape 

 normal ; funicle joints longer than wide ; club 5-jointed, not 

 well defined. Mandibles not large or prominent, at least one 

 bidentate at apex. Forewings ample ; venation terminating 

 slightly before middle of wing ; marginal vein barely twice as 

 long as wide, the stigmal very short; basal and median veins 

 not distinct. Scutum with deep complete parapsidal furrows : 

 lateral lobes with a large, deep, circular depression, the median 

 lobe with a large, deep oval depression on either side of meson 

 cephalad. Scutellum with two large foveae at base, and one 

 on either side. Metanotum tricarinate, without a raised scale 

 at base. Petiole of abdomen striate, nearly thrice as long as 

 wide : body of abdomen well raised from petiole, ellipsoidal, 

 somewhat longer than thorax, gently convex above and 

 beneath, the second segment occupying most of surface, 

 without depressions at base. 



(S . Median lobe of scutum without depressions, the 

 lateral lobes only faintlv depressed. Antennae 13-jointed, the 

 funicle joints long and slender, cylindrical, the first and 

 second subequal, plain. 



The male antennae are like those of Odonfopria, Kieffer, 

 but that genus has the head coarsely punctured and the scutum 

 with four grooves. Hexapria has the depressed lateral lobes 

 of the scutum in the female (the male is unknown), but there 

 are two distinct foveae against caudal margin of scutellum. 

 The new genus is like Bothriopi^ia, and is separated by the 

 depressions on the scutum ; these same characters were not 

 thought sufficient to fonn a new o-enus in the case of snme of the 

 Australian species of Tioplopriella, but the depressions were 

 not so deep and distinct, and gave indications of grading.
