ZAOiOIOilENTEDOX new genus. 



Female: — In my table of genera runs to Fleiirotfopomyia Girault from •nhii-h it diifers 

 in bearing a complete, distinct median sulcus on the scutellum in addition to one along distal 

 two thirds of scutum. Also the eyes occupy near the whole side of the head, the antenna; 

 inserted far down near the mouth, the scrobes short, forming a triangle but continued to the 

 cephalic ocellus in the form of a long sulcus. Eyes hairy, rather coarse, not reaching to l)ase 

 of mandible. Postmarginal and stigmal veins unequal, the former longer, subelongate, the 

 latter a little longer than usual, the marginal vein very long. Hind tibial spur normal. 

 Propodeum with distinct lateral carinin only, these joining along caudal margin, the spiracle 

 minute, round. Lateral carina at base (eephalad) forking, a short branch running latero- 

 eaudad, mesad of the spiracle and a complete, narrow sulcus just laterad of spiracle. A pair 

 of rather widely separated median carina; indicated at apex of propodeum by short spurs from 

 the carinated caudal margin. Abdominal petiole slender, longer than the hind cox®. Second 

 segment of abdomen short, somewhat longer than the others; scutellum long. Mandibles 

 fi-dentate! Axilla; barely advanced. 



Male: — Xot kno\^■n. 



1. ZAOMMOMENTEDON MANDIBULARS new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length. 1 mm. 



Metallic blue-green, the wings hyaline, the legs (except hind coxae, other coxas not 

 plainly seen) and scape pure white. Pronotuni, propodeum, extreme meso-caudal angles of 

 parapside and apex of scutellum glabrous, the pronotum with a line of fovea across cephalic 

 edge. Head and rest of thorax polygonally lined, the lines not raised. Hind wings with 

 about seven lines of discal cilia where broadest. Funicle joints oval, 1 a little the longest, 

 the pedicel still smaller. Terminal seta of club short, distinct.

NEOPSEUDACRL\S new genus of A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Agreeing with Fsendaerias Girault but there are only two ring-joints, the 

 hind tibial spur is not srout, the second abdominal segment occupies fully two thirds of the 

 surface. Propodeum with a pair of diverging median carinas and true lateral carina;. Antenna;- 

 9-jointed, the funicle 3, tlie club 2-jointed. 



ilalc: — Xot known. 



1. NEOPSEUDACRIAS SPLENDIDUS new species of A. P. Dodd. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 1.75 nnu. 



Dark metallic green, the abdomen darker, the propodeum coppery, the coxa; concolorous; 

 rest of legs and anteunal scape intense lemon yellow, lest of antenna" black. Wings hyaline, 

 the stigmal and postmarginal veins very short. Thorax finely reticulate, the reticulation in 

 raised lines, the center and apex of .scutellum smooth. Propodeum smooth. Petiole short and 

 stout, the abdomen .stout, conic-ovate. Pedicel shorter than any of the funicle joints, which 

 are much longer than wdde, the first slightly the longest, the first club joint subequal to funicle- 

 .'i and longer than 2 which terminates in a short spine. Mandibles bidentate, the teeth acute. 



From one fenuile caught by sweejiing foliage in jungle, May 19, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Kiiranda, Queensland. 



Type: Xo. By2iS7. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head
