and vei’tex orange yellow. Tibiic duHliVj pallid along distal half. Fore wings with a 
snbstigmal spot, irregularly infuseatod near base. Marginal fringes of fore wing nearly as 
long as the eaudal marginal fringes of hind wing. Otherwise like unfasciata.

4. LATHROMERELLA LONGICILIATA new species. 
FemnJe: — Lengtli, 0.7U mm. 
Bright, deep golden yellow; head, ce])halie ])art of thorax (pronotum and a little of 
mesonotum), jiropodeum and distal third of abdomen dusky or jet black; legs dusky. Fore 
Avings distinctly dusky but irregularly so yet there is a distinct dusky stri]>e across from 
the stigmal vein and A\hich is rather broad; under the submarginal vein the black is also 
distinctly dusky, elseAvhere faintly so. Alargitial A'eiii a little longer than the submarginal. 
Agrees Avith the generic diagnosis exce])t that the fore Avings bear rather long marginal cilia 
(soineAvhat less than a third the greatest wing Avidth) and the abdomen is shorter, the 
oA’ipositor inserted at middle (not extruded) ; fore Avings AA*here Avidest Avith about a dozen 
lines of diseal cilia A\hicli are not dense but in more or less regular lines, each cilinm very 
short. Jiirid Avings with at least two eomplete lines of diseal cilia, both cephalic. Mandibles 
tridentate, the third tooth shorter than the others. Antenna3 dusky; fifth club joint longest, 
snbequal to tbe terminal spine or a little shorter. Vertex transversely lineolated. Marginal 
cilia of hind AAung caudad barely longer than the longest marginal cilia of fore wing. 
From one female captured in forest, April 4, 1914. 
Hahitai: Gordonvale (Oaiins), Queensland. 
Type: Xo. Queensland Aliiseum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 
\Vhat appears to be the male of this species lacks the terminal spine on the antenna 
and the Avhole abdomen is dusky black, the meson of propodeum vpIIoav and most of scutum, 
the latter bearing tAVo long, spindle-shaped black markings quite as in Vfens hinotatus. The 
fore Avings are more uniformly infuscated. 
One male caiitured Avith the female and mounted Avith the type of Vfens hinotatus 
Giraiilt. 
5. LATHROMERELLA UNFASCIATA neAV species. 
Female: — Length, O.bO mm. 
Golden yelloAv; a AA’cdgesliapcd marking on each side of meson of scutum cephalad, 
antenuEO, caudal legs except tibia? and tarsi, sides of pronotum and proimdeum, dusky; a 
rather broad stripe across abdomen at distal three fourths and a rather large round spot 
betAveen this and ape.x on each side of meson, black. Fore wings with marginal, cilia not long, 
the blade lightly infuscated only from stigmal vein; marginal cilia of fore wing distinctly 
shorter than the caudal cilia of liind wing. 
Male : — Xot knoAvn. 
From one female captured by sAA'eeping grass in forest, A])ril 8, 1914. A second 
specimen June 10, 1914. in the same place. A third female, September, Pentland, Queensland. 
Jfa'bitai : Gordonvale (Cairns) , Queensland. 
Type: Xo. Ify2441, Qiieen.sland Alnsenm, Brisbane, the first specimen on a slide. 
The cross-stripe of abdomen is really A’ery narrowly divided along the meson, the 
inesal ends of each side turned caudad. There is also a juore obscure stripe across just before 
tip of abdomen. 
Genus LATHKOiMEBOTDES Girault. 
1. LATHROMEROIDES LONGICORPUS Girault. 
One female, Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland, March 31, 1914, by SAA'eeping grasses in 
forest. Two females, same place, April 8, 1914.
