For description see antea, p. 201. Described from one female from jungle, May 8, 1913 

 (A. P. Dodd). The type is on a tag, the head on a slide. The scape yellow, also postscutellum. 

 No lateral carina on propodeum. Stigmal vein short. Mandibles tridentate, the third tooth 

 obliquely truncate. Terminal joint of club with a small terminal nipple. Type re-examined.

 Girault. 



Orange yellow, the scutellum and margins of scutum lemon yellow ; upper occiput 

 centrally, face of pronotum, propodeum, a dot at cephalic apex of parapsides and of axillae 

 and four broad stripes across the abdomen, black. First three stripes of abdomen thick 

 (appearing composite) each with latero-caudal foot-like projections at margin, tlie first stripe 

 with a very narrow stripe joined to it for most all of its cephalic margin but free near the 

 lateral margins; stripe 4 small, straight along distal margin, its proximal margin convex. 

 A minute transverse dot just before tip, tip of abdomen and tip of ovipositor valves black. 

 Wings stained a little with yellowish. Funicle joints thick, 1 and 2 subequal. each about a 

 fourth longer than wide, 3 distinctly shorter, a little longer than w-ide, subequal to the pedicel.

From one female eaptui'ed in forest, February 17, 1913. 



Habitat: Seymour (Ingham), Queensland. 



Type: No. I[y354S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. the head 

 on a slide. 



9. TETRASTICHUS BOSWELLI new species. 



Female: — Length, O.SO mm., excluding ovipositor which is exserted for nearly two tliirds 

 the length of the abdomen. Slender. 



Agrees with the description of saiiilpierrei but the abdomen, though acutely pointed, is 

 not slenderly conical, not distinctly longer than the thorax and the ovipositor is distinctly 

 extruded. Also the green of the body is darker and more coppery; the oviijositor is only a 

 little extruded in saintpierrei. The propodeum is very short at the meson in both species, 

 widening laterad; in saintpierrei there is no lateral carina but a fovea in its stead (this may 

 be due to shrivelling). In hosirelli there appear to be no carinaa on the short propodeum. 

 Funicle joints 2 and 3 subequal, slightly longer than wide, 1 slightly longer than either. 

 Club with a distinct terminal spine. Pedicel subequal to funicle 1. Antenna? pallid dusky. 

 Mandibles with the two outer teeth acute, the inner blunt, distinctly wider than the others. 



From one female caught by sweeping forest. January S, 1913.
