2-9 slightly gradually shortening, the ninth one-half longer 

 than wide, the tenth nearly as long as the first. 



TIah. — Queensland: Cairns district, 1,200 feet. Three 

 females, two males, around decayed logs in jungle, July, 1915 

 (A. P. Dodd). 



Type. — I. 5422, South Australian Museum. A male and 

 female on a tag, male and female antennae and forewings 

 on a slide. 



Closely related to both augustus, Dodd, and regalis, 

 Dodd, but the pedicel and funicle joints in the female are 

 longer in those species; for instance, the second funicle joint 

 is distinctly over twice as wide as long ; regalia has the 

 scutum and scutellum wholly confluently-punctate, and the 

 plate at apex of abdomen is gently convex, not emarginate; 

 augustus has a shorter marginal vein, a dark longitudinal 

 stripe through the wing, and the plate at apex of abdomen 

 strongly concave and bispinose. 



Cacellus fuscicorpus, n. sp. 

 9 . Dull-brown, the head black ; legs pale lemon-yellow 

 (including the coxae), also the antenna! scape, the pedicel 

 and funicle joints brown, the club black. Vertex and frons 

 with rather dense punctures, these distinctly smaller than in 

 propinquus, regalis, and augustus, and not confluent against 

 the occiput ; lower two-thirds of face smooth, except for a 

 row of punctures along the eye margins ; cheeks with a very 

 few rather large punctures. Median lobe of scutum at 

 anterior half with rather large dense punctures, the rest of 

 that lobe and all of parapsides with scattered indefinite pin- 

 punctures, also the scutellum ; parapsidal furrows deep, 

 complete, foveate; scutellum with a foveate line along 

 anterior and posterior margins ; postscutellum unarmed ; 

 metanotum at meson with an acute short bidentate spine ; 

 scutum and scutellum with fine pubescence. Abdomen 

 slender, rather narrower than the thorax ; one-half longer 

 than the head and thorax united ; with fine pubescence on 

 sides and toward apex ; pointed at apex, with a small trun- 

 cate plate; segments 2-4 subequal in length, somewhat longer 

 than the first ; first segment longitudinally striate, 2-4 densely 

 longitudinally rugose-punctate, the punctuation less distinct 

 on the fifth, the sixth with moderately small and dense 

 punctures. Posterior legs long and slender. Forewings 

 almost attaining apex of abdomen ; moderately broad : faintly 

 infuscate ; venation yellowish : marginal vein a little yet 

 distinctly longer than the stigmal which is moderately short 

 and oblique ; the postmarginal fully twice as long as the 

 marginal, basal and ?nedian veins hardly indicated. Scape
