wing; marginal vein very short; stigmal vein moderately 

 long, oblique; postmarginal vein one-half longer than the 

 stigmal; venation fuscous. Length, 1'50 mm. 



On account of the flattened body, the large abdomen, and 

 the 4-jointed antennal club, this species is very distinct from 

 all the Australian ones. 



Hab. — North Queensland: Nelson. Described from one 

 specimen caught by sweeping on edge of jungle, July 10, 1913 

 (A. P. Dodd).

 Antennae 11- jointed; scape equal to next four joints com- 

 bined; pedicel a little longer than wide; first funicle- joint as- 

 wide as the pedicel; as wide as long; second as wide as first, 

 wider than long; third and fourth much narrower than the 

 second, very small, transverse; club 5-jointed, first joint 

 small, second the widest and longest, 1-4 much wider than
