Family EVANIID^. 



The first genus of the family eomprises those wasps parasitic 



in the egg-eases of the coekroach, and as we find several speeies 



in Australia that are common to Europe and other parts of the 



world, it is not unlikely that they have been introduced into this 



country. Westwood (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1850) has described a 



number of Australian species, and more recently in the Thesaurus 



Entomologicus (1874) has added to his list. Within the last few 



years Sehletterer has written a splendid monograph of this family 



(Verhandlungen der k.k. Zoologish-Botanisehen Gesellsehaft, 



Wien, 1885-90, continued in the Annalen des k.k. Naturhis- 



torischen Hof museums, Wien, 1889-90), in which the genus 



Foenus of Fabrieius is struck out, and the prior name Gasterup- 



tion, Latreille, substituted, and a great number of new species 



described.
