AVSTIULIJX HTMENOPTERA CIIALCWOIDEA, IW-^GISAVLT. 181 



Gekus PLEUROTEOPOilYIA Giraiilt. 



1. PLEUROTROPOMYIA LACTEICOXA new species. 



Female: — Length, O.S.j imii. 



Like the genotype but min/li less robust and tlie ]iptiolo and the eoxai are white also. The 

 median groove of scutum is shorter, along distal third (along distal half in the genotype). 

 The autenuEe in both species are much alike. Mandibles 4-dGiitate. Hind tibial spur a little 

 long and stout, as long as the tirst tarsal joint of hind legs which, liuwever, is not especially 

 long. Compared with tyjie of protiusi. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from one female captured by sweejiing along edge of jungle, .hinc 3, 1913. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. By 2475. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a tag, the 

 head and hind tibial on a slide. 



2. PLEUROTROPOMYIA ffiNEOSCUTELLUM new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. 



Almost exactly similar to the genotype but more brassy especially the scutellum and 

 the segments of the abdomen after the second are longer. 3 and 4 for instance when combined 

 as long as 2 (somewhat shorter in grotiusi) ; also in these abdominal segments, the single 

 transverse row of pubescence is along the cephalic margin in grotmsi but here it is central or 

 across the middle. Both species bear a distinct spiracular sulcus which originates just cephalo- 

 laterad of the minute spiracle; the axillae in both and the triangular caudo-mesal corner of 

 €ach parapside are glabrous, also tlie postscutellum. The sulcus along meson of scutum in each 

 is about half the length of the seutimi from caudad. Segment 7 of abdomen in both nest 

 longest after 2 which occupies about a fourth of the surface. Hind tibial sjiur rather long 

 and stout. Comjiared with tyiie of genotype. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from two females captured by sweeping in forest, Novendjer 5. 1913. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 3-!7G, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one of the above specimens on a 

 tag (minus head). 



Genus PLEUKOTEOl'1'UPSIS Girault. 



In antea, p. 1.54, table of genera, line 13, maculipennis should read maeulatipennis. 



In the genotype the pronotum appears double owing to an obtuse cross-ridge a little 

 beyond middle; it is glabrous but with a row of long set;c from small setigerous punctures, 

 the setae reclined and directed caudad over the scutum; this row of setigerous punctures is 

 cephalad of the cross-ridge. The wedge-sliaped caudal part of each parapsidal furrow is 

 glabrous. Scutum with a fe^v of the very long seta? and one from about the middle of the 

 wedge of the parapsidal furrow. Axill-.n barely advanced, glabrous. Lateral margin of 

 scutellum cnrinated, forming a narrow groove just inside of the carina. From the type. 



Genus HOEISMEXOIDES Girault. 



Female: — With the form of the proctotrypoid genus Hadronotus but the abdomen still 

 broader. Venation, antenna} and mandibles as in Amestoclia^'is Girault; ring-joints distinct. 

 Parajisidal furrows short but distinct, cephalad only; scutum with a complete, conspicuous 

 median sulcus. Scutellum simple, its cephalic margin triangularly advanced, the axilte obtuse- 

 • eonically advanced into the scutum, wholly cephalad of the scutellum. Pro])odeum very short, 

 with a median carina which is paired, apjiarently; lateral carinse apparently present, curved.
