Crawley on process equal and opposite to the pronotal teeth, scooped out at base leading to the mesonotum, the interval covered with a translucent membrane. The mesonotum has three pairs of teeth, the anterior lateral ones broad, the posterior lateral ones longer and pointed, the central pair short and pointed. A translucent membrane covers the excavated space between. Epiuotum broad and flat, bearing a pair of long pointed spines, nearly as long as their interval, and directed slightly outwards. First node in profile twice as high as thick, a fraction higher in front than behind, straight in frqnt, slightly coucave behind, making the base broader than the apex. From above it is broader than long, straight in front, roughly convex behind. Second node in profile as high as first, and thicker from above, broader than first, coucave in front, convex behind. Fig. Mera7iopliis Mlli, sp. n. Gaster of normal form. Body moderately provided with a short brown pilosity, much less abundant than xwferrugineus. More or less shining, gaster sub-mat. Mandibles striate. Clypeus smooth and shining with a few strine on sides and on anterior portion. Front half of head has longitudinal ridges, which gradually become coarse reticulations until at the occiput the surface is merely coarsely reticulate. Sculpture of thorax similar to that on the occiput, sides longitudinally striate. Epiuotum with a few longitudinal strice. Both nodes coarsely reticulate-punctate. The bottom of the punctures and areas enclosed by the reticula- tion are shining. Gaster entirely microscopically reticulate and sub-mat. Similar to ferrugineus, from which it differs principally in shape of head and in sculpture, and in pilosity. Seaford, Victoria {W. Hill, no. 84). Type W. C. C.
