MfyMOIBS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
All tibia) metallic and coneolorous. 
Metallic blue-green; knees, venation and antennal club brown; tarsi yellowish; 
joints 1 and 2 of funicle subquadrate; postmarginal vein twice the 
length of the stigmal. Sculpture of abdomen as in australiensis. 
mittagongensis Girault. 
The same but the fine sculpture of the abdomen is only on the distal segment 
and lateral aspect of the others; head aeneous; smaller; funicle 
brown; mesothorax bronzy green. capensis Girault. 
Bronze species. 
Tibia) greenish, the abdomen darker bronze; tarsi flavous; antenna) dark metallic; 
vertex and face striated; funicle joints wider than long, 1 cup-shaped, 
much larger than the pedicel; club with an apparent fourth joint at apex; 
dorsum of abdomen finely punctate. tasmaniensis Girault. 
Genus EPIPERILAMPUS Girault. 
This genus is certainly very closely allied with Trichilog aster Mayr and is very probably 
a synonym of that genus. There is no doubt that it is a true member of this family. The 
same as Fcrilampus but the thorax not coarsely punctate, only with obscure scattered thimble 
punctures and transversely wrinkled and reticulated, the antenna) with, two large ring- joints* 
and a well defined 3-jointed club, the distal joints of the funicle transverse; pedicel longer 
than funicle 1. Marginal, stigmal and postmarginal veins shortened yet moderately long, the 
postmarginal somewhat shortest of the three, the other two subequal. Antenna) inserted in the 
middle of the face. Scutellum simple. Axilla) barely separated inwardly. Second segment 
of abdomen occupying nearly half of the surface. The male is described beyond. 
1. EPIPERILAMPUS XANTHOCEPHALUS Girault. Female. Genotype.

the cephalic tibiae, the knees aud tarsi brownish; submarginal vein brown, others lemon yellow.

subquadrate.
