The scape, the apical part of the third and ah the following 

 antennal joints, the mandibles more or less, the legs, and the 

 basal segment of the abdomen, ferruginous; the front coxae 

 above, and the front femora posteriorly, dark. Of the dark bands 

 on the wings, the apical one is more restricted and less definite 

 apicall}^ than that of the preceding species. 



Head finely, but distinctly, longitudinally rugose; the prono- 

 tum with the subconcentric rugosity of N. koebclei, etc., but 

 with the sculpture relatively finer, and the surface clothed witl;* 

 grey pubescence; mesonotum with a dense, irregularly rugose 

 sculpture, as also the scutellum; propodeum reticulately rugose. 

 Abdomen with the two basal segments smooth and shining, the 

 following grey with appressed pubescence and densely and very 

 finely punctate. Length about to mm. 



Hab. Bundaberg, Queensland. A single specimen captured. 



5. Paradryiiius Icptias sp. nov. 



Black, the clypeus apically, the cheeks adjoining it and the 

 m.andibles, the front tibiae beneath, the front trochanters in front, 

 the middle and hind tarsi (which however are largely infuscate) 

 and the tip of abdomen, testaceous. Basal joint of antennae be- 

 neath, as also the apical angles of the emarginate clypeus, whit- 

 ish; the second joint, and a narrow ring at the junction of third 

 and fourth, and of the fourth and fifth, and the whole of the four 

 apical joints, testaceous. Wings banded as in the preceding 

 species, but with the basal and median of the three transverse 

 smoky bands more confluent. 



Head dull, very densely and minutely sculptured, appearing 

 coriaceous, with very faint evidence of longitudinal rugulosity. 

 Pronotum piceous or obscure ferruginous along its posterior 

 margin, on the highly convex disc, shining, smooth, with hardly 

 visible punctures; mesonotum dull, with dense surface sculpture, 

 between the subparallel parapsidal furrows much smoother, and 

 more or less shining; propodeum reticulately rugose. Abdomen 

 smooth, shining, impunctate, second segment obscurely reddish 

 at the sides. Length about 5 mm. 



Hab. Near Cairns, a single female bred. 



6. Paradryimis varipes, sp. nov. 



Black, the two basal joints of the antennae, the face below 

 these, the lateral and posterior margins of the pronotum more
