Ilahitat : Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. RySiSO, Queensland Museniu, Brisbane, tlie specimen on a slide. 
The female of subflava recorded elsewhere from Gordonvale, October 29, 1912 (window) 
was really this species. 
BHACH VGKAiMMAl’KlLLA new genus. 
Female : — Allied witli and similar to Brachy gramma Girault but the antenuee are 8*jointed 
bearing two distinct ring-joints, tlie club rather long and conic-ovate. Also the scape is short, 
tiie oviymsitor much longer being inserted a litllo out from base, the antenna) are inserted a 
little dorsad of the ventral ends of the eyes, the marginal vein though broad or thick is thrice 
longer than wide, the discal eiliatiou of the fore wing is extraordinarily dense and fine, hence 
normal, there is a short, stoiit hairless line on fore ning from (caudo-proximad) the end of 
the minute stigmal vein ami the caudal wings bear about seven lines of discal cilia. The 
marginal cilia of the fore wing are extraordinarily short and minute, barely visible. Thorax 
cipparenthj with a distinct median groove for its entire length. Tibial spurs single, absent on 
cephalic legs. Caudal trochanters with a flattened or comjtressed dorsal lobe.

1. BRACHYGRAMMATELLA NEBULOSA new species.

Sooty black, the vertex and scutellum orange yellow, the fore wings rather lightly 
infuscated out to a])ox of venation, the inarginal vein black; infuscation of fore wing deeper 
under marginal vein and more or less across from apex of venation. Knees, ti])S of tibias and 
the tarsi silvery white. Color of scape not seen. Fore wings with a more or less clear oblique 
(eaudo-distad) hairless line from end of vernation forming with the true hairless Hue a short 
inverted V. ^Marginal \'oiu hispid. Hairless line of fore wing with about four short lines of 
discal cilia proximad of it, as coarse as the rest of the dis<‘al cilia ()j>posito the marginal vein, 
the main j :irt of the <liscal ciliatiun much finer, none of it coarse or long. Hind femur 
compressed, the tibial s]mrs short. Fore wings (d)lately rounded at apex, shaped somewhat

shorter than the iiedicel, both joints wider tlian long, the first a little sltortor, tiie sulure between 
tliem oblique; club 1 longer than 2, longer than the pedicel, 2 conical, subequal to the pedicel, 
without a terminal seta. Legs rather short. Fore wings nakt'd (or nearly) under submargiual 
vein. iMaiidibles with three minute teeth. Caudal niarginal cilia of caudal wing distinctly 
shorter than the width of those wings. Club about twice the length of the pedicel. 
Described from one female captured by sweeping grass in forest, April 8, 191 1. 
Habitat: (Tor4lon\a]e ((bairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. lly^LR, (Queensland Aliiseum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with type 
of Laihromerella unfom-iafa Girault and several other clialcids. 
MIRUFFNS now genus. 
Fcinale : — Like Japania Girault but the ovipositor is inserted some distance out from 
base; wings as in Vfeits but tlie stigmal vein is disthictly much longer than the marginal. 
Cephalic tibia armed outwardly (dorsad) with six small but distinct teeth-like projections 
(placed from base to ajjex). Scutellum with a narrow but distinct median grooved line, a 
similar line indicated at apex (caudad) of scutum. Mandibles 4-dentate. Caudal femur 
somewhat swollen, the caudal tibiae serrulate dorsad. Scape much shorter than the club. 
^Marginal vein nearly thrice longer than 'wide.
