of hind wing sooty, tlie fore -niiig also sooty at same place, acfeiited proximad (a little ovei 

 half way to apex from ei,d of venation) in a large ovate black spot narrowly connected along 

 the middle to a smaller ovate sjjot in center of blade farther proximad (jnst distad of eml 

 of venation but in midlongitndinal line of blade). Petiole distinctly longer than wide bnf 

 not as long as hind coxa;. Marginal vein elongate, nearly as long as the submarginal; marginal 

 fringes of fore wing short, at widest part alunit 32 lines of dense discal cilia. Scape slender; 

 pedicel shorter than funicle 1 wdiich is suffused with yelhiw ; funicles 2 and .3 subequal, longest, 

 thrice longer than wide, the following joints regularly shortening, 8 longer than wide, about 

 half the length of 2. Club long. Strigil strong. Hind tibial spur single. Cephalic femur 

 fuscous toward base. A groove on scutum at distal third at meson. Xo sclerites between 

 scutum and scutellum, the latter very long, rectangular, longer than wide; axillte widely 

 separated. Parapsidal furrows conijilete. Thorax polygonally reticulate or scaly. Propodeum 

 long, longer than scutum, with two curved median carina- forking from base and a long, oblique 

 (nieso-eaudad) one running to meson at ajiex but (n-iginating at a fovea at cephalic margin far 

 laterad. Abdominal segments subeqnal, moderate in length. 



Mtilr: — Not known. 



Bescribed from one female ,:aptnred in jungle, September 1.5, 191.3. 



Eabitat: Knranda, Queensland. 



Type: Xo. Hy 3^JG. Queensland ilusenm. Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide. 



3. OOCTONUS PROMETHEUS new species. 



FrDialf: — Length, 2.00 mm. 



Very similar lo ,f;;r/rts but differing in having the femora black, in being a little smaller, 

 in lacking a median groove on distal scutum, in lacking the lateral carinfB on the propodeum 

 and in having the distal spot <m fore wing deeper black and not quite as large, more clearly 

 delimited. Otherwise (excejit in sculpture) identical with fn'na.'^ with which I have compared it. 

 Thorax finely polygonally scaly, the propodeum subglabrous. with a distinct median channel 

 whose margins are carinated, otherwise plane. Scutellum as long as the long propodeum, 

 simple, the postc-utelhun transverse linear. Lateral margin of propodenm carinated and a few 

 interlacing carina? caudo-laterad. Axilla^ widely separated. Median channel of propodeum 

 narrowing caudad. 



Male: — Xot known. 



Described from one female captured in jungle, February 11, 1014 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Babinda, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy24i7. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with type 

 of Oonatoeenis niuini Giranlt.

There are no Austialian members of this genus, the two sjiecies formerly placed here 

 belonging to Gonaloccrvs Xees. The genus belongs to this tribe. 



Tribe GONATOCERIXI. 



EUSTOCHOilORPHA new genus. 



Form slender, graceful, the abdomen long, slender, longer than the head and thorax 

 combined, the ovipositor inserted at base, long, exsortcd for some length, the extruded portion 

 over a third that of the abdomen ; legs normal, the tarsi .5-jointed. Thorax long, the jiaraiisidal 

 furrows complete, the sclerites normal, no phragnm. Antenna) 12-jointed, the club 2-jointed. 

 Fore wings somewhat as in Signiphora. tlie marginal fringes moderately short (the longest 

 about a fourth the greatest wing width), the discal cili;ition sparse. Hind wings rather short, 

 slender.
