1S4 MEMOIRS OF THE QVEEKSLJXD MUSEUM. 



EC longer than pedicel, club as long as funicle 1; first club joint the longer, as long as last 

 fuuicle joint. Hind tibial spur long and stout. Distal club joint with a nipple. First ring- 

 joint large. Parapsidal furrows complete. Propodeum glabrous. Sulcus on each side of 

 median carina with carinated lateral margins. No lateral carina?. 



Habitat: Croydon, Queensland. November 30, 1908 (S. W. Fulton). No. 20. 



Type: In the National Museum, Melbourne. A female on a tag, the head and hind 

 legs on a slide. 



A large sulcus near lateral margin of jiropodeum contains the spiracle. It is incomplete 

 and enlarges cephalad. 



Genus PELOROTELOPSELLA Girault. 

 This genus is in a wrong place in tlie table of genera previously. See following. 



1. PELOROTELOPSELLA ALBIGENU new species of A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Length, 2 mm. 



Very similar to the type species, r/emi Girault, but the thorax is more coarsely jjunetate, 

 the abdomen is distinctly longer than its greatest width (barely so in genu), the second segment 

 occupying less than a fourth of the surface, its caudal margin somewhat convex (quite straight 

 in genu). 



From two females caught liy sweeping in forest, February 19, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy'24S2, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one specimen on a tag, the head on 

 a slide. 



The lateral sulcus of propodeum in grmi is foveate and originates just mesad of the 

 spiracle. 



Genus PSETJDACRIAS Girault. 



1. PSEUDACRIAS QUINQUECARINATUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1..50 nun. 



Meson of propodeum plainly tricarinate. Head and thorax brilliant reddish coppery, 

 the abdomen black, its second segment occui)ying half of the surface. Proximal three tarsal 

 joints white. Separated from micans and quadricarinatus by bearing one more propodeal 

 carina, from clialyhs by having the second abdominal segment distinctly longer and the pedicel 

 is not much shorter than funicle 1; from salvus it differs in general coloration, being metallic — 

 the pronotum is sculptured in that species and the scaly sculpture of the scutum is polygonal, 

 not forming diamonds as in this species. Thus, closest to ceneus but that species has the 

 jironotum finely reticulated (smooth here, no sculpture visible at same magnification but the 

 face of the pronotum is polygonally scaly, distinctly so) and the fore wings are distinctly 

 broader yet broad in this species. In this; new species, the scutellum laterad longitudinally 

 striate, smoother along the meson, the stria; not numerous and anastomosing only at long 

 intervals. No distinct polygonal sculpture on scutellum. Mandibles bidentate. Abdomen 

 polished, the petiole opaque. The second club joint is longer than in wnens, the antennaa 

 slightly less stout. Head beneath antenna:! smooth or nearly. Petiole longer than wide. 



From one female caught by sweeping jungle, Kuranda, May 14, 191,3 (A. P. Dodd). 



Hahital: Kuranda and Babinda, Queensland. 



Type: No, UyS483, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, head on a 

 slide (Kuranda). 



Several females were reared from cockroach eggcases from jungle, Babinda, Queensland, 

 February, 1914, The color of the thorax varies from brilliant rosaceous to rather dark green 

 (A. P. Dodd).
