190 MEMOmS OF THE QDEENSLAXD UUSEm. 



terminal spine. Pedicel longer tliau wide. Frons broad, cheeks short, mandibles trideutate. 

 Petiole of abdomen nearly as long as the hind coxEe. Segments 2 and 3 of abdomen smooth, 

 naked 4 and 5 each with two rows of minute setigerous punctures, 6 and 7 each with about 

 live rows of them. Thorax coarsely scaly, axiUaa finely so; caudo-mesal half of parapsides 

 sunken (or the representative of the parapsidal furrow) and subglabrous and with a minute 

 fovea a little eephalo-laterad of the middle of its mesoeephalic margin; this fovea also some- 

 Avhat before the caudal end of the parapsidal furrows and it gives origin to a very long and 

 slender yellowish seta. Parapsidal furrows mere sutures, distinct, abbreviated eaudad, curving 

 off before pronotum, the latter glabrous and with a row of punctures along its cephalic margin ; 

 these punctures give rise to isolated, very long bristles. Propodeum glabrous. Postseutellum 

 very much smoother than scutellum. 



From two females caught by sweeping at 1,000 feet, forest. May 17, 1914 (; P. Dodd). 



Eahitat: Upper Tweed Elver, New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy 2491, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one of the specimens on a tag; 

 head, fore legs and a hind tibia with type slide of Omphalentcclon lontius Girault. 



2. HORISMENELLA VARICOXA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.68 mm. 



Differs from the genotyjje in having the last two pairs of eoxse concolorous, the hind 

 femur a little dusky above at proximal half, the abdominal petiole yellowish brown, the wings 

 hyaline, the median groove of scutum somewhat shorter, funiele 3 is only somewhat longer 

 than wide, subequal to the pedicel and to 2, somewhat shorter than 1 and the general coloration 

 is less bright, darker. Compared with type of genotype.. Scape metallic at tip above. 



From two females caught in forest, June, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Burnett Heads, Southern Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy S493, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two females on a tag, two heads 

 and a hind tibia on a slide. 



The median carina in this genus is a little divided cephalad. 



In the table of genera, antea, j). 153, it should be noted that Pelorotelopsella should be 

 included with 'M.estocliuroicicus, since there are no lateral carina) on the propodeum; lateral 

 sulci replace the carinas. Same place, 1.^3, line 6 from bottom carince should read carina. 

 lu Horismenus antiopa, the lateral and caudal margins of propodeum are strongly carinate, 

 the reticulation of the thorax raised, segment 2 of abdomen glabrous. 



Tribe PEDIOBIINI. 



In the table of genera, antea, p. 156, last line of section I, tiio should read true; last 

 line of section III, nigriviridt(s equals nigriviridis Girault. 



B^OENTEDON new genus.

 the face, 6-jointed with two ring-joints, the club solid, one funiele joint. Parai)sidal furrows 

 not indicated. Scutellum simple. Abdomen short and broad, from dorsal aspect rounded, as 

 wide as the thorax and somewhat shorter, the thorax convex. Venation as in the Omphalini, 

 the stigmal vein very long, the marginal not quite as short as the submarginal. Pronotum not
