recorded as a parasite of the destructive Codling Moth {rf. 

 Ashmead, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.Wales, 1900, 357) ; but Ash- 

 mead suggests that it may really have fed on the frvxit-fly, 

 Darus tryoni.

Eucoelin£e. 



Heptamei!OCEka lonch.i:.k, sp.n. 



Black, smooth and shining: mandibles and legs red, anten- 

 nal scape and the basal two or three joints of the flagelhim of 

 a darker red, metapleurae tinged with pieeous ; abdominal hair 

 fringe slightly dull rufous ; wings hyaline, nervures dark fus- 

 cous, first abscissa of the radius about one-third shorter than 

 second; areolet open, the cubitus traced near to the end. 

 Antennal scape thicker and slightly longer than the third 

 joint, which is thrice longer than wide : the fourth is not 

 twice its length, is slightly curved and narrowed at the base, 

 and is fully one-quarter longer than the third, and double the 

 length of the fifth, which is shorter than the third. 

 d*. Length, 3 mm.

 fly (TjOnrhcfd sjjjeudida). 



In one specimen, the ventral surface is piceous-red. I can 

 only refer this species to Ashmead 's genus Jfeqjtamerorera,

 location. I cannot make out, too, if there is an abdominal 

 hair-fringe or not.
