 of latter), distal third and lateral margins scutum, scutellum 

 save meson from base more or less, postscutellum and axillae 

 dark red. Legs yellowish brown save coxae, hind femora and 

 the middle more or less at base. Propodeum with a median 

 carina and no lateral, scaly. Petiole twice longer than wide, 

 abdomen somewhat as in Eurytoma, convex, most the seg- 

 ments large, subequal, glabrous. Scutellum with four bristles. 

 Pronotum large. Vertex, finely scaly, rest of thorax more 

 coarsely so. Funicle 1 twice longer than wide, 3 half shorter;

Forest, Gordonvale, August. 



Polycysteloides parviventris, new species. 



Differs from genotype in having abdomen sessile and man- 

 dibles 3- and 4-dentate. Characterized by the short, much 

 wider than long propodeum with a distinct conical neck 

 (punctate, lateral but no median carina, spiracle elliptical, 

 cephalad, its sulcus barely indicated) and the small triangular 

 abdomen whose segments are not much unequal and which is 

 acutely produced beneath at base ; abdomen smaller than the 

 convex thorax. Antennae in middle of face ; clypeus striate, 

 a bit produced, the sides of the production oblique, its apex 

 gently concaved. Tooth 3 of 3-dentate mandibles wide and 

 truncate at apex. Parapsidal furrows three-fourths complete. 

 Punctate. Postmarginal two-thirds marginal, stigmal some- 

 what shorter, long. Legs, antennae, reddish, coxae concolorous, 

 femora more or less so, tips tibiae widely white. Funicle 1 

 subequal pedicel.
