PIOPLOPRIELLA FUSCITEGULA, U. Sp. 



9 . Very similar to farvipuiictata, but the tegulae are 

 dusky, also the femora ; the parapsidal furrows do not widen 

 so perceptibly caudad, and are more distinct cephalad ; the 

 foveae at base of scutellum are not obliquely situated to each 

 other, are well separated from the lateral foveae, and are 

 shorter, not extending for half the length of scutellum (extend- 

 ing for that distance in jjarvipunctata) : club joints 2-4 longer, 

 only a little wider than long, the first scarcely widened and 

 apparently not forming part of club, the last joint a little 

 longer. Length, 2*25 mm. 



Hah. — Tasmania: Mount Wellington (A. M. Lea). 



Type. — I. 5133, South Australian Museum. A female on

 -ences are too many to consider it a variety of that species.

 plete ; parapsides plainly depressed, the median lobe with a 

 small oval depression on either side against cephalic margin ; 

 foveae at base of scutellum large, circular, the lateral pair 

 deep and plainly longer ; raised scale at base of metanotum not 

 prominent. Petiole twice as long as wide, with three strong 

 carinae dorsad ; body of abdomen not long, the second segment 

 occupying over two-thirds of surface. Forewings long and 

 broad, a little infuscate : marginal vein barely twice as long as 

 wide, the basal rather delicate. Pedicel one-third longer than
