•'lather broadly golden yellow and a golden yellow triangle at meson of cephalic vertex. Pedicel 
elongate, subequal to funiele 4 w’hich is somewhat over half the length of 1, the latter elongate, 
distinctly longer than the club, over thrice longer than wide; funiele and club clothed with 
moderately long hairs. Club slightly nippled. Mandibles tridentate. Marginal vein distinctly 
longer than the submarginal. Sculpture somewhat rougher than usual but normal for the 
tribe, the propodeum slightly smoother, glabrous narrowdy along the median line, noncarinate. 
Pronotum (viewed from above when the head has been removed) large, three fourths the 
length of the scutum. Abdomen sculptured like the i)ropodeum. Scutum nearly naked; 
pronotum with scattered bristles from obscure punctures. 
From one female caught by sweeping in forest, June 10, 1914.

Type: No. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on a 
slide. 
In the Diagnosis of Genera, aniea, p. 249, line 6 of the whole, an asterisk should follow 
the word lines, l^age 250, under Meliiiohia, the sentences as follows should be added: Frons 
directed dorsad, head longer than wide, body flattened. The genus bears three ring*joints. 
Page 251, line 1 under II, omit the numeral 3. In the table, characters based on the propodeum 
.have no significance.

1. CERATONEURONELLA RUFOBASALIS new' species. 
Female: — Length, 2.05 mm. 
Agrees with the descrijd.ion of nigriventris Girault in all details but differs as follows: 
The base of the abdomen is reddish yellew' (a little less than proximal third all round) ; the 
petiole is white; the first funiele joint is suIkhju.mI to the ]»edieel which is longer than in the 
other species and the stained area on the fore wing is much less distinct, only an obscure stain 
under about tbe middle of the marginal vein (a little distad of the niiddlo). In the genotype 
this si)ot is largo and distinct, ovate and projects conically distad of the venation. Tip of 
abdomen whitish. Hind coxa and femur with the cdongate black spot. Abdomen finely scaly. 
Segment 3 of abdomen shorter than 1, intermediate between it and segment 4. Mandibles 
tridentate. Median groove of scutum absent. Median groove of scutellimi indicated by an 
incision at base only. Funiele 3 shorter than 1, barely longer than wide. 
From two females labelled ‘‘ No. 2(1. lOJO-13. G. F. Hill.’^ 
flahitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territory. 
Types: No. By 3645, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, tw'o females on a tag. 
In this genus the stigmal vein is shorter than usual, the marginal vein slender, the 
hind tibial spur longer and stout (but not greatly lengthened), tlie club solid, the scutum 
simple, the median groove of scutelliim faint, the first lateral groove further lateral than 
usual, as seen from above along lateral margin of scutellum and resembling the grooved 
.scutelluin of the Elachertini; the first grooves are absent. Hind legs, wing and antenna of 
genotyjte re-examined. In the genotype, tuniclc 1 is only a little longer than the pedicel and 
no longer than the other two funiele joints.
