rugulose; first abdominal segment striate, remaining segments- 

 fin ely rugulose. Antennae as in niger, Dodd, but the first

 one-half longer than wide. Forewings as in niger, but vena- 

 tion as in unicolor, Dodd. Length, 1"6 mm. 



Hab. — North Queensland: Harvey Creek. Described

Baryconus pretiostjs, sp. nov. 



(3 . Like bellus, Dodd, but differs as follows: — In bellus 

 the thorax is uniformly bright orange-yellow; in pretiosus 

 the cephalic half of the median lobe of the mesonotum, the 

 scutellum, and postscutellum are darker than the rest of the 

 thorax. In bellus the abdomen is mostly yellow and the first 

 segment is darker than the second; in pretiosus the abdomen 

 is mostly black, but the first segment is bright-yellow; the 

 postmarginal vein in bellus is more than twice the length of 

 the stigmal, in pretiosus it is not twice the length of the 

 stigmal. Antennae 12-jointed; scape and pedicel yellow, rest 

 of antennae black; pedicel scarcely longer than wide, dis- 

 tinctly shorter than first funicle- joint; funicle- joints 1-3 sub- 

 equal; 4-9 subequal, each a little shorter than the third.
