portion representing the last three joints in Ectenopsis appears 

 unsegmented. Probably a new genus may have to be erected 

 for the species, but the general facies is so like Ectenopsis that 

 I do not think it advisable to do so in the present state of our 

 information on this genus. 



Ectenopsis australis, Ric. 



Ricardo, Ann, Mag. Nat. Hist. (8), XIX., p. 217 (1917); 

 Taylor, Records Australian Museum, XII., 5, p. 63, (1918). 



Miss Ricardo is incorrect in her statement as to the location 

 of the types — the male type is in the British Museum, not the 

 female, as stated by Miss Ricardo ; the latter is at present in 

 my possession, but it is intended to present it, with other types, 

 to the Australian Museum, Sydney. 



Mr. Taylor's descriptive notes do not apply to this species. I 

 have examined the specimens in the Australian Museum, and 

 they are certainly not E. australis, Ric. The female type mea- 

 sures 10.5 mm. in length. 



Ectenopsis (?) victoriensis, sp. n. 



A dark brown species with long body and comparatively short 

 wings, doubtfully assigned to this genus. 



Long: — 14 mm., width across head 3.5 mm., wing 11 mm. 



Face protuberant with very deep sulci on each side, yellow- 

 brown clothed with grey tomentum and scanty grey pubescence; 

 beard scanty grey; palpi yellow, first joint very short subcylin- 

 drical, clothed beneath with long grey hairs; second joint slen- 

 der, at least twice as long as first; curved, slightly constricted 

 at base, and ending in a fine point, clothed with short dark hairs ; 

 antennae with first two joints yellowish-brown, tipped with black 

 hairs, the third joint with small quadrate basal portion and first 

 three annuli which are small and indistinct, reddish yellow, and 

 the remaining annuli black and much more distinct. Forehead 

 light brown covered with grey tomentum, and some black hairs 

 on ocelligerous triangle; concave anteriorly, and about twice as 

 wide as it is at vertex. Eyes bare, facets equal. 'Thorax deep 

 brown, clothed with brown tomentum and with traces of yellow 

 brown tomentum forming an indistinct stripe on each side of 

 median area ; with semi-erect dark hairs anteriorly and long 

 scanty decumbent grey pubescence posteriorly, and above wing 

 roots, sides with scanty grey pubescence, scutellum similar with 

 -a fringe of scanty grey hairs.
