but not especially long. Thorax very finely scaly reticulate, 

 the scutum with obscure, scattered setigerous punctures, the 

 head similarly sculptured and with scattered more distinct 

 punctures. Scutellum like the scutum. Clothing of the scu- 

 tum rather long yet soft, not dense nor erect. Scutellum gla- 

 brous on distal half. Lower face and cheeks with a few 

 punctures. Hind tibial spurs double, unequal. The male is 

 smaller but about the same, its antenna filiform, the club 

 solid, no longer than funicle 7, the pedicel globular, funicle 1 

 thrice longer than wide, the following (6) joints of the funicle 

 subequal, each over a half longer than wide. Flagellum uni- 

 formly clothed with rather short, soft hairs. A line of large 

 punctures along the eyes on vertex as in the female. 



From one male, eight females in U. S. National Museum, 

 labeled "Tachinaephagus sealandicus Ashmead. Type No.

 Queanbeyan N. S. W. Lea. 2.92."

ZAOMOMMOENCYRTUS, new genus

 mandibles is concaved (so that the mandibles appear triden- 

 tate). The club is divided obliquely through the middle and 

 is ovate. Frons moderately broad, subprominent. Habitus of 

 Bpidinocarsis. 



Zaomommoencyrtus poeta, new species. Genotype. 



Female. — Length, 1.50 mm. Stout, flattened. Lemon yellow, 

 the vertex, scutum (except the lateral and caudal margins 

 narrowly) and scutellum (except the same margins), deep 

 orange yellow. Wings hyaline, the venation lemon. Face of 

 pronotum, a small triangular sclerite just off the caudolateral 

 comer of the scutum, propodeum across the meson out nearly 

 as far as the spiracle and the bulla and the ventral half of the
