AFSTHALIAX IIYMESOFTESA CEALCIDUIDEA, IT.—GIEAVLT. 21.5. 



edge (nearly divided) and is close to the basal strine. Also, the scape is broader, the pedicel 

 subelongate, somewhat longer than funicle 2. Otherwise identical. Types compared. 



From one female caught in jungle, June 25. 1914. 



Habitat: Gordouvale, Queensland. 



Type: No. Sy2541, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type 

 of persimilis; head on a slide with types of prrsimiJis and sol. 



4. ZAOMMOMYIELLA PERSIMILIS new species. 



Female: — Length, l.su mm. 



Very similar to ocidata but stouter, the axiUfe are metallic blue, there are four dusky 

 stripes on abdomen distad of the broad basal stripe, the soutellum is more distinctly punctate 

 rather than scaly and its sculpture is denser; the first tooth of mandibles is distinctly larger 

 than the inner two, which are paired and equal (in oculata the first two teetli are subequal. the 

 third a little stouter, none paired) and the pedicel is subelongate, somewhat longer than 

 fuuicle 2, which is next longest of the flagellum. The scape is yellow in both species. Club 

 1 longest of the three. Compared with type of oculata. 



Prom one female caught in jungle, May 2, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales. 



Type: No. By 2543, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on a 

 slide. 



5. ZAOMMOMYIELLA SOL new species. 



Female: — Length. 1.30 mm. 



Wliolly grass green, the abdomen coppery except across base, the face rosaceous brassy. 

 Legs white except the dark metallic coxae and the black dorsal edges of all femora. Antenna; 

 as in persimilis. Fore wing with a distinct fuscous cross-stripe from the small stigmal vein 

 and distal fourth of the long marginal, the stripe ratlier broad, slightly curved and at ceplialic 

 half accented so as to form a square area more distinct than the caudal part, which is rather 

 faint. Oral area orange yellow. Mandibles as in persimilis. Parapsidal furrow's complete, 

 rather broad, sliallow, narrowing cephalad. Thorax coarsely densely punctate, tlie punctures 

 flattened out on the scutellum. Projiodeum glabrous, noncarinate. Segment 2 of abdomen 

 glabrous, 3 mostly so, the rest scaly. Differs froui ahnormis in being wholly metallic (except 

 the oral area narrowly), the femora black above, in having a distinctly shorter abdomen, 

 smaller infuscated area on the fore wing, and this area forming a more or less distinct 

 stripe and the punctures of the scutellum flattened or very shallow. The propodeum has 

 several sunken cavities laterad and on each side of meson (but broadly separated) a narrow- 

 rather obscure carina from caudad, abbreviated cephalad. 



Described from one female taken by sweeping jungle. M;iy 2. 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy2543, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on 

 a slide with type head of Zaommomyiella persimilis. 



PARZAOMMOMYIA new genus. 



Female: — Like Zaommomyiella Girault but the antenna; bear three ring-joints and the 

 scutum and scutellum with a complete median sulcus. Tlie abdomen is subelongate, slender, 

 distinctly longer than the rest of the body. Marginal vein very long, over twice the length 

 of the subniarginal, the postmarginal nearly thrice the length of the rather short stigni.-il. 

 Occiput very concave, the face subconvex. Axilla) only advanced a very little, the parapsidal 

 furrows complete. Mandibles tridentate, the third tooth truncate. Cheeks very short but 

 distinct. Pronotuni not visible from above.
