Head: labium blackish brown; labrum dark reddish brown, anteclypeus yellow, postclypeus and frons dark ochreous but the latter with a suggestion of metallic colouring beginning to develop; vesicle black, occiput dark brown; behind head bright ferruginous. Prothorax brownish; synthorax dull reddish brown with a poor violaceous or bluish lustre (which probably becomes definitely metallic in the full adult?). The middorsal carina finely mapped out in pale yellow; laterally two bright creamy-yellow oblique stripes, one centred over the mesopimeron, the other covering the lower half of the metepimeron. Legs black, of moderate length and slimness, the femora with closely-set minute spines, the tibiae with moderately robust longer spines. Wings hyaline with dark brown vittae in the subcostal, costal, and cubital spaces extending to the first antenodal anteriorly but short of the Cuq in the cubital space. Pterostigma long and narrow, 4 mm. in length, braced, blackish brown. Nodal index—8-9 antenodals and 7 postnodals in forewings, 5 antenodals and 8 postnodals in the hind. Abdomen steely black marked with citron yellow—a pair of obliquely oval transverse spots on dorsum of segment 2, followed laterally by a small rounded spot; a pair of rounded or squared spots against the jugal sutures of segments 3 and 4, and a small spot on each side on the ventral border near the base of these segments; 5 to 8 with similar spots growing progressively. 2. Wings of Archaeophya adamsi sp. nov., female. smaller from segment to segment and more rounded. Apal appendages widely separated, slim, tapering to a point, and rather longer than segment 10, black. Habitat: N. QUEENSLAND: Edungalba, , a single rather teneral female, collected by E. Adams, after whom this fine new species is named. It bears a superficial resemblance to the larg
