Hah. — Soutli Australia: Port Lincoln; and New South 

 Wales: Sydney (A. M. Lea). 



Type. — I. 1264, Soutli Australian Museum. The above 

 specimen ; a slide with head and posterior legs (and the same 

 appendages of the following species). 



Ormyromoepha trifasciata, new sp. 



O . The same as the preceding species but stouter, more 

 robust, and differing specifically : the stigmal and postmar- 

 ginal veins are longer, the angle between them somewhat less ; 

 the middle stripe is longer, its distal margin also convexed, 

 while the third stripe is shorter, just around the distal edge, 

 while the two white stripes are equal in length ; the stigmal 

 vein is a little longer than the postmarginal ; the abdominal 

 segments are longer and somewhat more distinctly reticulated ; 

 the antennal joints differ in that they are all somewhat longer 

 in the funicle and that the scape and pedicel are also brown ; 

 in the first species the second funicle- joint is longer than the 

 first, but in trifasciata the second is shorter than the first. The 

 abdomen is convex ventrad. Length, 3 mm.

SPHEGIGASTERINI. 

 Parurios, new gen. 



Parurios australiana, new sp. 



9 . Shining reddish-brown, the legs concolorous, also the 

 scape and pedicel ; first two funicle- joints and the club 

 whitish, the intervening five joints black or nearly. Abdomen 

 with a broad darker stripe across base, a narrower one across 

 the middle and with the conical distal third of the same dark 

 colour, but dorsad also washed with more or less metallic- 

 green ; a broad band of opaque black across the mesonotum at 

 the base of the forewings, the band concaved at the meson. 

 Wings very small, casually apparently absent but with a very 

 long marginal vein, the stigmal and postmarginal veins short 

 but subequal ; the cephalic margin bearing long stout bristles, 

 the disc of the wing with a large fuscous cloud from the distal 

 third of the marginal vein, the whole blade light-brown, 

 densely pubescent distad and nearly truncate at apex ; pos- 

 terior wings perfect. Parapsidal furrows nearly meeting 

 caudad. Propodeum with a median carina, whose middle is
