1. RHICNOPELTOMYIA VOLTAIREI new species. 



Female: — Length, ]..jO mm. 



Intense golden, the fore wings with an obscure blotch from apex of the stigmal vein. 

 Caudal margin of pronotum very narrowly across meson and the entire scutum except extreme 

 eephalo-lateral corner, dark metallic green, the funicle and club dusky black, the base of 

 abdomen above with a rather large, rounded metallic blue spot on each side of meson, both 

 connected across meson forming more or less of a cross-stripe; cephalic margin of propodeum 

 narrowly metallic green. Abdomen with four (usually visible as three, the distal one fainter), 

 narrow, complete, cross-stripes on middle, remote from base or apex, the distal three each 

 cr.rved shortly cephalad at meson, 2 and 3 close together, midway between 1 and 4. Tip of 

 valves of ovipositor black. Thorax finely scaly, the propodeum very finely so, noncarinate, 

 the scutum very coarsely scaly. Marginal fringes of fore wing short ; postmarginal and stigmal 

 veins more or less subeqnal. Caudal wings broad, with about ten lines of discal cilia where 

 broadest. Scutellum with the usual long seta on each side a little distad of middle. Mandibles 

 tridentate. Club well defined, with a distinct terminal spine which is nearly as long as the 

 .■joint which bears it; pedicel stout, long, nearly two thirds longer than wide; funicle 2 somewhat 

 longer than 1, somewhat shorter than the jiedicel, stout, plainly longer than wide. Flagellum 

 tapering. 



From one female captured in forest, .\pril 27, ]914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 250:3, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the si)ecimen on a slide with type 

 of ClirysocJiaromyia bicolorithorax. 



A second female same place. May IS, 1914. 



2. RHICNOPELTOMYIA DOugLASSI Girault. 



A female at G'ordonvale, Queensland, .\pril, 1913. The head is yellow below antenna); 

 a long narrow- scleritc between the latter and up the face and which is narrowly margined 

 with yellow; also a convex suture just beneath vertex on the face, which is also yellow'. The 

 third tooth of mandible is not broad, merely shorter. The ventral half of abdomen is more or 

 less yellowish and faint cross-stripes are visible abo\e. Postmarginal vein a little longer than 

 the stigmal. The tyjie body has been remounted onto the type slide. 



The type has been compared with that of AehrynmhareUa olympus Girault and differs 

 from the latter in having the propodeum short and glabrous .at meson and the fore wings are 

 smaller. In oJyinims, the propodeum is distinctly, finely reticulated.
