234 REVISION OF THE THYNNIDiE OF AUSTRALIA, II., 



this species and T. basalis in lliynnoides, but I do not consider 

 them very near either to each other or to typical Thynnoides. 

 Hob. — Sydney (Froggatt; <££ in cop.); Adelaide(Smith). 



189. T. moechus, n.sp. 



<J. Clypeus punctured, broadly advanced and subemarginate 

 at apex, the apical angles rather prominent, with an obscure 

 carina from base to apex, the centre convex. Head and thorax 

 very closely and finely punctured, median segment finely rugulose. 

 Pubescence on front of head, vertex and thorax above fulvous, 

 elsewhere grey. Abdomen elongate, basal segment narrow, not 

 as broad at apex as second segment; segments 2-5 shallowly 

 punctured with an impressed transverse line near base; epipygium 

 rugose, truncate at apex. Hypopygium subtriangular narrowly 

 produced at apex, with a short apical spine. Black; tibiae and 

 tarsi fusco-ferruginous. Wings hyaline tinged with yellow, 

 nervures black. Length 15 mm. 



£. Head small, with a concave depression on each side in front, 

 the depressions smooth and shining, the rest of head finely punc- 

 tured. Pronotum opaque, sparsely punctured, broadly emarginate 

 anteriorly, half as broad again as long, as broad as head. Median 

 segment shining, very short and narrow, shining, obliquely trun- 

 cate from just behind mesonotum. Abdomen much broader than 

 thorax, the segments smooth at base, very finely punctured at 

 apex; first segment obliquely striated; second segment with 

 transverse carina?, the three or four apical carina? straight, those 

 nearer the base less elevated, arched in middle, oblique and 

 numerous at sides. Pygidium arched at base, oblique posteriorly, 

 long and narrow, a little compressed before the oblique trunca- 

 tion, widening gradually towards apex, longitudinally striated 

 before base of truncation. Entirely fuscous. Length 11 mm.

Allied to T. novarce Sauss. The female closely resembles that 

 of T. carbonarius Sm., but the sculpture of the second abdominal 

 segment is different, and the head and thorax are smaller. The
