146 INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 



est, somewhat longer than 4, occupying not more than a fifth 

 of the surface, its caudal margin entire, straight. Scutellum 

 with but the faintest sign of a cross-suture near apex, the para- 

 psidal furrows two-thirds complete from cephalad. Pube- 

 scence very sparse. Mandibles 4-dentate. Antennae inserted 

 much below the middle of the face, slightly below the ventral 

 ends of the eyes, 13- jointed, the scape slender, the pedicel 

 large, the rest slenderly clavate. Scrobes not distinct per se 

 but lying in a very long-triangular, obtuse impression. Pedicel 

 over twice longer than wide at apex, as long as the next four 

 joints combined or longer; ring- joints grading into the funicle 

 joints, the first shortest and narrowest, the second twice its 

 size, still very transverse, half the length of funicle 1 and 

 slightly narrower; funicle joints all wider than long, increasing 

 gradually in length distad, 3 twice wider than long, 6 a little 

 wider than long. Club ovate, its first joint quadrate and 

 largest of the fiagellum except the pedicel. No distinct ter- 

 minal nipple. Postmarginal and stigmal veins of moderate 

 length, subequal, each over half the length of the marginal, 

 the latter less than half the length of the submarginal. 



Three females in the collections of the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture and reared from the larvae of Carpocapsa pomo- 

 nelln (Linnaeus), November 1 or January 11, 1909 ("11.1.09" 

 Stokes). 



Habitat: Glen Innes, New South Wales, and as above. 



Types: Cat. No. 20466, U. S. Nat. Mus., two females on 

 tags, a head, fore wing and pair of caudal legs on a slide. Co- 

 type: In the Queensland Museum, a female on a tag. 



Very similar to the North American (Arthrolytus) Di- 

 hrachys pimplce (Ashmead) but the antennae are lower on the 

 face while the clypeus is incised. 



Sphegipterosema dubia, new species. 



Female. — Length, L70 mm. Differs from the genotype in 

 having no cross-suture on the scutellum, segments 3 and 4 of 

 the abdomen are entire, 2 longest, occupying a fourth of the 

 surface and with a small sinus caudad at meson, 3 not quite 

 half the length of 2, more or less equal to 4; the coxae are
