marginal fringes sliorter. The third fniiielo joint iji the Si/ntomosphiiralln is sliortest, somewliat 
wider than long. 2 longest, somewhat longer than wide, nearly as long as the ])edioel, 1 a little 
shorter tlian 2. In the SeUtricliodeUa, the median groove of scutum is not deep but delicate. 
In the SyutomosphyreUd there can be no doubt in regard to at least two club joints Avliile no 
trnee of the tliird can be seen; tiu' club is divided a little ]»r(>xijnad of middle. 
To further coniplic'ate inatteis 1 have a specimen of :i species agreeing with the 
Sclifrichodcdit excejd that there are tiiree ring-joints and two distinet club joints. This 
specimen ditbus from tlie Syiiloniosphyrclh! in having the anteniun stouter, tlie mandibles 
distinctly largei- and tlie wings broad(*r. bi sides tlie groo^•e on the scutum. This specimen was 
('a]iture(l at Tweed Heads. Tweed River, N. W. AVsIes, May 14. 1914, in forest (A. P. Dodd). 
The second ring-joint is very short. The cei)halic tibia; are all white in all three (not the 
femora as origimdiy stated for the S yii fomos])hyyelJa) . 
After some consideratioji, I concluded the New South AVales specimen to be the 
SeJilrichodclUE- wifli which it agrees in every particular that could be made out. It has a 
sliort jiostmargiual vein. 4’ypcs re-examined.
