AVSTPiALIAS UYMKNOPTKnA CHALCWOWEA, IL—GIEAVLT. 
163 
outlining a large distal ovate liyallne area with the broader end at apex of the blade and its 
narrower end jjenetrating centrally more than half way from apex to apex of venation. Tij) 
of abdomen whitish, the pallid dusky valves of the ovipositor extruded a short distance. Thorax 
as in cinctiveiitris which also appears to have the lateral grooves on postscutellum ; however, 
here, the sciitelluin is longer and widens somewhat caudad. Scape and pedicel pallid dusky; 
funicle 3 longest, aubequal to the j)edicel, nearly twice longer than wide, 4-. and 0 shortest, 
subglobular, 2 and d subequal, somewhat shorter than 3, 1 a little shorter than 2; club only 
slightly wider than the funiclc, its middle .inint shortest, distinctly wider than long. Strigil 
distinct. Ovipositor inserted at base of abdomen. Fore wings as in Faranoplioiclea, truncate 
at apex, bearing about 32 lines of fine diseal cilhntioii, the marginal cilia very short. Caudal 
wings broad, with about 7 lines of discal cilia, their caudal marginal cilia distinctly not as 
long as tlie greatest width of the blade (which is at distal third) but over twice the length of 
the uniform marginal cilia of the fore wing. Hind tibial spur single. Caudal femur with 
numerous very short, stiff setiV dorsad. 
From one female caught in forest, June 6, 1914. 
Hahiiai: Gordouvale (Cairns), Queensland.

iweceding species. 
Dedicated to Clerk Maxwell. 
5. STETHYNIUM NOTATUM new species. 
Female: — Length, 0.50 mm. 
Much like daltoni but the abdomen bears four distinct cross-stri])es of black, the first 
at base, the cuneate marking on each side of meson of scutum reaches three fourths tlie way to 
caudal margin (only about half way in (laltoni) and there is a. round black spot just caudad 
of each parapside (besides the more obscure, crescentic marking farther caudad ami present 
in ddlloni). Also the sciii)e and pedic<d are lemon yellow. Structurally differs In that funicle 
2 is somewhat sliorter being only a little longer than wide, 3 is quadrate (G is globular and 
larger tlian 5 iu both species) ; the fore wings arc less slender (about 16 lines of discal cilia 
wliere broadest) ; the caudal wings with five or six lines of discal cilia which are uniformly 
distributed distad and they are broader than with daltoni. Compared with tyi)e of daltoni. 
Fr’om four females whicli emerged May, 1914 from gall No. 31 (of II. Hacker). 
Habilat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: Xo. J[yS46t^, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, four females on a slide. 
The species lavoimieri bears a more or less distinct dusky band across abdomen somewhat 
proximad of middle while daltoni has a distinct cuneate marking on cephalic scutum on each 
side of the meson (cephalic half) and the ceiihalic end of each parapside is dusky. The types 
of vesalii, cuvicri, lavoirsieni and mayeri have been re-examined. 
6. STETHYNIUM PERLATIPENNE new species. 
Female: — Lengtii, 0.90 mm. 
Marked like pavinoiw but more robust, both wings very much broader, the fore wing 
bearing about forty-eight lines of discal cilia, the hind wings about eight. 
Male: — Not known. 
De, scribed from two females reared with flavinotce. 
Hahitat: Melbourne ?, Victoria. 
Types: No. lly S466, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimens on a slide with 
the type female flavinotce. 
7. STETHYNIUM LATIPENNE Girault. 
The pronotum, scutum excepting lateral and caudal margins and the median line more 
obscurely, the tegula?, the cephalic third of each parapside and the abdomen are velvety
