the seutellvim and postseutellum inetaUie evaneiis. Soutum with four long, black bristles, one 

 in each corner, the scutelhun with two, one on each side near lateral margin about center from 

 base. Thorax coarsely scaly reticulate. Fore wings hyaline but with a distinct, broad, blackish 

 ■stripe across from a little over distal third of marginal vein and the whole of the proximal 

 ■side of the stigmal. Propodeuni glabrous, washed with metallic blue, without carina;. Abdomen 

 with a short yellow petiole, slender, acute at apex, somewhat longer than the thorax. Post- 

 marginal vein slightly shorter than the stigmal. Marginal fringes of fore wing where longest 

 a little less than a fourth the greatest wing width. JIarginal vein along cephalic margin 

 with long, slender bristles. Cheeks short but distinct. Flagellum tapering, the funiele joints 

 stout, somewhat longer than wide, 2 a little longer than 1 ; terminal spine distinct, rather long. 

 Pedicel a little shorter than funiele 1. Axilte not advanced. Caudal marginal cilia of hind 

 ■ifing somewhat shorter than the greatest ■nidth of the blade yet moderate in length. Fore 

 wings with about 20, caudal wings with about 6 lines of discal cilia where widest. Club joints 

 1 and 2 each twice longer than wide, longest of the flagellum. 



From one female captured by sweeping in jungle. May 30, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. My 2334, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 



7. ACHRYSOCHARELLA GLABRISCUTELLUM new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Like Achryxoeliaris clariscutellum occideiitalis but larger and the antennse and wings as 

 in the typical form of that variety. Venation yellow; the stigmal vein black and with a 

 fuscous dash from its apex. Pedicel very long, as long as the funiele. Agrees in every 

 particular with clariscutelhim clariscuteJlum except the sculpture of the scutellum and the 

 generic character. Scutum finely punctate. Compared with type of clariscutellum clariscutellum 

 whose antenna? bear but one ring-joint. Legs white except coxa;. Probably a variety of 

 clariscutellum (if so that species belongs here). 



From one female caught in forest, June, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Burnett Heads, Southern Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy3vS5, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



8. ACHRYSOCHARELLA VARICLAVA new species. 



Female: — Length, 0.80 nun. 



Diifering from dubia in the -.'oUowing particulars only: The distal ti\'0 club joints are 

 black (the distal joint in djibia), the posterior wings are narrower, with only five lines of 

 discal cilia -nhere widest (seven in dubia) and the fore wings are more slender, about 20 lines 

 of cilia where widest (about 26 in dubia). .\lso the caudal coxeb are entirely concolorous and 

 the caudal femur bears a distinct blackish blotch dorsad at jiroximal third. Compared with 

 type of dubia. 



From one female caught in forest. May 12, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat : Chindera, New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy 3.536, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



Clirijsoeharella iniea differs from ChrysocJiarella eousobrimis m having the first two vairs 

 of tibia? yellowish white, the scape blackish only at tip and othenvise as described. Ccjihalic 

 tibia! j-ellow in roiisobrinus, the middle tibial so at distal half. In its original descrijrtion, 

 line 4, more yellowish should read less yellowish. The species lenea differs from Achrysocharis 

 atripes in that the latter has the scape all concolorous, the antenna; distinctly less compact, 

 both funiele joints not wider than long, the first smaller than the second as in (Fiiea; the 

 ■stigmal vein in atripes is distinctly shorter, subsessile, the postmargiual barely developed; the
