INSECUTOR INSCITI^ MENSTRUUS 49 



A female on leaves of bastard gum, on the case of a psyllid, 

 November, Gordonvale. 



Eurytoma hallami, new species. 



Like pyrrhocerus Crawford but propodeum with a wide 

 oval median basin whose margins are ridged, the interior finely 

 rugoso-punctate and inclosing a bifoveate and shallow median 

 channel whose edges and meson are finely carinate ; abdomen 

 3 distinctly longer than 4. Mesopleurum with longitudinal 

 striae which are not dense, its cephalic margin made by a row 

 of punctures between carinas and divided about middle by a 

 similar row but the punctures fewer, the carinae consequently 

 closer together. Marginal distinctly longer than postmarginal. 

 Petiole very short. Propodeum rugoso-punctate. Abdomen 

 finely scaly after 4. Antennae reddish. First femur all black. 



Bed of Mulgrave River, Gordonvale, November. 



Ablerus diana, new species. 



Green, white as follows : Head save for a wide stripe cross 

 at the antennae, over the cheeks and through center of occi- 

 put, extreme lateral edge of parapside, pedicel save above save 

 apical half, tip of club, funicles 3 and 4, also knees. Tips of 

 tibiae rather widely (over distal third on middle tibiae) and the 

 tarsi pale yellow. Fore wings with a dense cluster of black 

 hairs under end of marginal vein, the longest marginal cilia 

 half the greatest width. Ovipositor half abdomen's length. 

 Funicles 1, 2 and 4 equal, twice longer than wide, pedicel 

 shorter, f unicle 3 quadrate ; club equal funicles 1 and 2. Man- 

 dible 3 obtuse. Scape moderately widely dilated, widest distad 

 of middle. Sculpture glazed. Fore wing embrowned from 

 base to length of stigmal beyond the latter's apex, the distal 

 margin of this infuscation entire, oblique, the infuscation ac- 

 cented across from marginal vein, so that casually there appear 

 to be two wide cross-stripes, 1 obliqued from submarginal, 2 

 across just distad of the hair clump ; also apex distinctly rather 

 widely dusky, forming a stripe 3 which is convexed at middle 

 of basal margin and not as wide as stripe 2. Discal cilia coarse 

 distad of the hair clump, absent in the hyaline cross-stripe,
