MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
Beacons field, Victoria (type locality), Jan. 27, 1919 (F. E . Wilson) ; Kiata, 
Victoria, Dec. 31, 1918 (F. E. Wilson). A remarkable species, known by the peculiar 
abdomen, lack of colour on postscutellum, and orange face with black supraclypeal 
area. Mr. Hacker had recognised it as probably new. 
Hylseus honestus subhonestus n. sp. 
Male. Length about 8*5 mm. : differs from H. honestus (Sm.), which was 
described from Tasmania, as follows :■ — Abdomen black, with perhaps the very 
faintest greenish tint : anterior tibiae very broadly yellow in front, and a dagger-like 
small yellow mark at apex of their femora, middle tibiae with the outer face entirely 
light yellow ; wings strongly brownish : scutellum with a large broadly triangular 
orange mark, and postscutellum with a semi -circular broad mark. Mandibles with 
a small yellowish mark on upper edge : labrum with a small transverse yellow spot ; 
clypeus and lateral marks bright orange, but the surface dull ; lateral marks broadly 
ungulate in middle above (honestus style) ; supraclypeal area black; scape black; 
flagellum obscurely brown beneath ; tubercles orange : meso thorax dull, distinctly 
punctured ; area of metathorax rough and entirely dull, but surface on each side of 
it somewhat shining : basal nervure meeting nervulus ; first recurrent meeting 
intercubitus : second cubital cell long ; stigma and nervures dark ; no constriction 
between first and second tergites ; venter of abdomen quite simple ; abdomen 
distinctly punctured . 
Sheffield, Jan. 8, 1917 (G. II . Hardy). 
Hylseus hobartiellus n. sp. 
Male. Length about 5-3 mm., slender, with the head broad, but the eyes 
strongly converging below. It is readily known from H. hobartianus (Ckll.) by the 
following characters : — Smaller : face, labrum. and mandibles light lemon yellow, 
the supraclypeal mark transverse, its upper edge straight ; flagellum long and thick, 
ferruginous beneath ; mesothorax. scutellum, and postscutellum shining ; tubercles 
yellow with no black dot: wings only slightly dusky; stigma large, rufous; second 
recurrent nervure joining second cubital cell a little before end ; coxae in part, and 
trochanters entirely yellow; femora black, the anterior ones with, a light apical 
streak ; anterior and middle tibiae pale reddish yellow, with a black mark behind ; 
hind tibiae black, with the basal two-fifths pale yellow ; basitarsi very pale, but the 
small joints infuscated ; abdomen narrow. 
Hobart, Oct. 24, 1917 (G. H. Hardy). 
Hylseus wynyardensis n. sp. 
Female. Length about or nearly 6 mm. ; black, with pale-yellow markings, 
consisting of narrow (but not linear) lateral face markings (ending very acutely near 
orbital margin some distance above level of antennae), tubercles (no other light 
colour on thorax), and bases of tibiae (of the last broadly) ; also the anterior tibiae 
are pale reddish in front ; face very broad, clypeus dullish, region of ocelli dull ; 
flagellum dusky red beneath, not extremely long ; thorax shining : scutellum large 
and flat ; tegulae black : wings hyaline, family dusky : stigma very large, dark 
brown ; basal nervure falling short of nervulus : second cubital cell about as high 
as long, the recurrent nervures meeting the intercubiti, or the second not quite 
reaching intercubitus : abdomen broad and short, moderately shining, but 
second segment mainly dull, its apical margin brownish : no constriction between 
second and third tergites.
