Alan P. Dodd: 



Family Dryinidae. 

 In the Bulletins of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association, 

 Mr. R. C. L. Perkins has described many Australian Dryinidae, 

 mostly bred by Mr. Koebele and himself in Queensland. Some 47 

 species are described, together with many new genera. I have not 

 bred any Dryinidae and consequently have very few specimens 

 of the family.

 1. Echthrodelphax nigricollis Perkins. 



A $ of what is undoubtedly this species was taken by sweeping 

 in a jungle, Kuranda, N. Q., 19th May, 13 (Alan P. Dodd). It 

 agrees in all respects with Perkins' description except that the 

 posterior third of the hind femora is black.
