Family PKOCTOTRUPID^. 



The only membei's of this family that I can find recorded from 

 Australia are four species described by Wesbwood in his Thesaurus 

 Entomologicus, Oxford, 1874, belonging to the sub-family Bethyl- 

 lides (the peculiarities of which division he defines}, and several 

 species of those curious little insects which inhabit the centre of 

 many figs, belonging to the sub-family Blastopliagince. These are 

 described in the Transactions of tJie Entomological Society of 

 London, 188.3, where much interesting information is given about 

 the habits of this group. My own observation of the many galls 

 found in the vicinity of Sydney leads me to believe that thi.s 

 country is very rich in these minute parasitic Hymenoptera.
