from pronotiim narrowly by yellow; the central green of scutelliim is oval; the green of 

 parajisides does not form a continuous piece with the spot on the axilla, the latter here larger, 



■ elliptical and isolated from the green of parajisides; the last two stripes on abdomen are 

 also joined along the meson ; a green line between each antenna at insertion. Mandibles 



.abont 5-dentate. 



From one' female bred from capsules of red gum November ]2.

9. GYROLASELLA PARTICOLOR new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.05 mm. 



Golden yellow, the wings hyaline, except that the stigmal knob is dusky; cephalic half 

 (or somewhat more) of scutum, except along lateral margins, an elliptical spot on scutellum 

 at middle of base, a smaller but similar spot at apex (cephalad) of each axilla and the 

 jiropodeum metallic greenish blue, the abdomen with six submetallic cross-stripes equally 

 distributed, narrow and separate. Mandibles with two distinct outer teeth and three or four 

 minute inner ones. A very small (a mere trace) fuscous area under stigmal knob. Thorax 

 scaly. Legs pallid, the femora dusky above at base. Hind tibial spur distinct. Antenna

10. GYROLASELLA DUPLOLINEATA new species. 



Female: — Length, l.l.j mm. 



Intense golden yellow, the wings hyaline, the legs and antennas concolorous (scape not 

 ■seen). Marked with dark metallic green as follows: Extreme latero-caudal angle of pronotum; 

 median line of scutum (narrowly), except at each end (more toward caudal end); suture 

 between scutum and scutellum (narrow); parapsidal furrows except at each end; median 

 line of scutellum except at each end (forming a narrow or thin line as on the scutum) ; suture 

 between axilla and parapside (only at mesal end); an elongate wedge near tegula; cephalic 

 and caudal margins of piropodeum narrowly, the cephalic line dilated near the spiracle and 

 extending laterad no farther than that, the caudal stripe still less broad; extreme base of 

 abdomen at center and six stripes across abdomen, all thin, 2 and 3 close together, 3 with a 

 .small nipple at meson eaudad, 6 convexly curved and shorter (i.e., not extending laterad as 

 far as the others which do not quite reach the lateral margin) ; in life, these stripes (1, i 

 and 5) appear double; also a line of three narrow dots like spiracles or slits, dorso-laterad 

 from cross-stripes 1-4. Thorax scaly; ocellar areas apjiarently non-metallic; fuuiele 2 much 

 «ider than long, 1 somewhat so. A'enation yellow. Vertex sparsely hispid. Mandibles 4 or 

 .^-dentate.
