154 INSECUTOR INSCITI.5- MENSTRUUS 



Parachrysomalla secunda, new species. 



Female. — Agrees with the description of the genotype, but'l 

 somewhat smaller, the fore wings are Hghtly dusky from the; 

 band of tlie submarginal vein distad to apex, the scape is; 

 dusky dorsad, the pedicel black, the ring- joint pale and a little: 

 longer than wide, funicle 1 is twice longer than wide, 2 a half I 

 longer than wide, 3 somewhat shorter than 2, 4 nearly quad- - 

 rate. Club subequal to funicle 1 in length. The scutellum i 

 differs in bearing a carina across a short distance before the ; 

 apex, while the pair of median carinse on the postscutellum i' 

 are very delicate, more or less obscure. Only the cephalic 

 knees are yellow, the other femora black to their tips. Abdo- 

 men somewhat compressed, as long as the rest of the body. 



The male is similar in color, the abdomen depressed (an- 

 tennae missing). 



One male, four females, on two cards in the U. S. National 

 Museum, marked "91. From turpentine galls." 



Habitat. — Flemington, New South Wales (and as above). 



Types.—Csit. No. 12718, U. S. Nat. Mus.; as above with a 

 slide bearing female heads, caudal legs, and a fore wing. 



This is the Cecidoxenus nigrocyaneus Ashmead MS. of the 

 Miscogasteridse. It is a perilampid. 



Thaumasura westwoodi, new species. 



Female. — Length, 8 mm., excluding the ovipositor, which is 

 extruded for a length slightly over twice that of the body, a 

 third or more longer than the stylus above it. 



Much like terebrator, but the antennae are entirely black 

 except joints 4 and 5 of the funicle, the femora, tibiae, and tarsi 

 red except a large oval spot above laterad near dorsal margin 

 at distal half of cephalic and caudal femora (on the latter a 

 much smaller area on the mesal aspect), and the caudal tibiae 

 just below the knees. Also the antennae dififer from those 

 figured for the genotype in that the pedical in the latter is 

 barely a half the length of funicle 2, while here it is plainly 

 two-third§» the length of funicle 2; also the club joint is larger 

 than the joint preceding it, shorter in terebrator. A triangular
