Mii!v : — Unknown. 



From one specimen from the Queenshnid Mnseum, unlabelled. 



Hahitat : Brisbane, Queensland. 



Ti/pc: No. By 27 Jo, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a tag, the 

 head and hind legs on a slide. 



All yellow species of Elasmtis have the peculiar arrangement of black spines on the caudal 



tibia>; the arrangement does not seem to differ specifically. The variation in the mandibles 



is a good specific character and species may differ only in tliis. Species of Elasmus and 



E'unjischia do not shrivel upon drying but the head (which is punctate in all of my s])ecies 



■ of Elasimis) must be removed and crushed in balsam in order to see the mandibles. 



The following species of the family appear to be common in their respective habitats: 

 Elasmus splendidtis, formosus, qucenslandicns and miirijiscutellum ; Euryiscliia shaJcespearei 

 and Euryischowiiia icashinijtouL 



ADDITIONAL STATEMENT ON MYMARIDAE. 



The following new species was descrilied just too late to be included within the second 

 supplement to this family : 



Gexus PARANAPliOIDEA Girault.

.let, the antennffl except the club and the legs, except hind cosffl and femora, pale 

 whitish yellow; postscutellum contrasting brilliant golden. Fore wings hyaline but distinctly 

 infuscated from base out about to end of marginal vein, the stigmal vein as in Stethynmm. 

 Scutum with a distinct median groove, the postscutellum with three, one median. Thorax 

 not rudely sculptured, smooth or nearly. Fore wings with about eighteen lines of cilia 

 where widest, rather slender, rounded at apex, the discal ciliation disappearing some distance 

 distad of venation (over length of marginal vein distad), the longest marginal cilia only a 

 third the greatest wing width. Club of antenna contrasting in color with the funicle (much 

 more so than with candata). Funicles 1-3 and 5 narrower than the other two, 2 and 3 

 ■subequal, each a little longer than wide. 1 subquadrate, 5 slightly longer and wider than 2; 

 funicle i subequal to 6, longest, somewhat longer than wide, subequal in length to the 

 pedicel. Venation dusky black. Club divided about the middle, llind wings with only a 

 paired line of discal cilia along each margin, their caudal marginal cilia somewhat longer 

 than the greatest width of the blade and a little longer than the longest marginal cilia of 

 the fore wing. Club rather large. Hind tibial spur single, not especially long. 



From one female caught in forest. June, 19H (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Burnett Heads, Southern Queensland. 



Type: No. HyS73D, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



In this genus, the axillaj are normal, scutcllum wider than long, shorter than the 

 postscutellum. 



These observations should be added: 



Enasius Enoek differs from Erythmelas Enock in having all the funicle joints much 

 }onger than wide and the scape longer and more slender. The groups must be considered valid 

 until shown to the contrary. They differ in thoracic structures from allied genera, a fact 

 overlooked in their original descriptions. 



Of the Australian species of Anaphcn, as a consequence of the recognition of the 

 Enockian genera, icalJacei. lapacci and spiiw::ai are Enasivs; Tcantii, maszinii and painei 

 are ErytlnmJus. The sole species of Aiiaplus is thus sainlpierrei.
