There are two fuiiicle joints, tlie first transverse hut 'wider than the ring-joints. The 
scape of the male is dilated ventrad, sometimes enormously. 
1. NEOBRACHISTA TRIFASCIATA new species of A. P. Dodd and A. A. Girault. 
Female: — Length, LIO mm. 
Like novifasriald Girault but besides the three black stripes across the abdomen, there 
is a spot on each side of meson just caudad of the first stripe and a smaller sj)ot on each side 
of meson farther caudad and more laterad ; the second and third cross-stripes are very broad, 
the second not intt‘rrnj»ted at the meson; the scutum is without tlie median sulcus which is 
]>rescnt on tlie scutelUim only; the scape is distinctly nnire compressed. Uomjiared with the 
type of novifasciatd. 
Male : — not known. 
Described from one female captured by sweej)ing iu the jungle, January ]5, 1914 
(A. P. Dodd).

Type: No. EiF^no, (Ateensland IMuseum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide. 
2. NEOBRACHISTA FASCIATA NIGRIVENTRIS Girault. 
The male of tliis variety is ]»robably that origiually described with fasdata, the abdomen 
black. The scape is distinctly dilaled ^•entlad. uniformly for its entire length. The male has 
been re-examined. 
3. NEOBRACHISTA FASCIATA Giratilt. 
The male of tliis species is probably represented by a specimen caught April 4, 1914 
at Gordonvale, Queensland, by sweeping grass in forest. It agrees in coloration as far as I 
could see and in structure excejit; that the scape is enormously dilated ventrad, very much more 
so than in the male mentiouerl above, the rectangular, flat scape only somewhat longer than 
vide. Scutellum with a median groove, the seutiini simple. 
4. NEOBRACHISTA INCOMPERTA new species. 
Neobrachista fasdata Girault, 'partim. 
Female : — Colored like novifasclata, the abdomen with tliree distinct black cross-stripes, 
one proximad, two distad but the second stri]>e is complete, not distinctly interrupted at the
