 Length, 2.20 mm. The type was captured in jungle. May S, 1913 and is on a tag. 



4. EUPLECTRUS PULLIPES new species. 



Female : — Length, 1.80 mm. 



Colored like EuplectromorpJia nigrifemur (Girault), the tibias and tarsi yellow, also the- 

 middle coxa; but the abdomen centrally is more narrowly yellow, the marginal black being^ 

 broad. Scutellum and axillas uniformly scaly reticulate, the scutum a little rougher but similar, 

 the pronotum much finer, its neck, however, as rough as the scutum. Longest spur of hind 

 tibiaa half the length of the hind tarsus. Antenna; 9-jointed, two ring-joints, club solid. Post- 

 marginal vein much longer than the stigmal. Mandibles absent. Scutum and scutellum simple; 

 yellow of abdomen paler toward base ; ventrad yellow, margined with black as the dorsal' 

 surface, the distal part of the black long. Funiclo and club fuscous; funiele 1 somewhat 

 longer than the pedicel, longest, 2 and 3 each slightly shorter, 4 a little longer than its width. 

 Club a little longer than funiele 1 which is distinctly longer than wide. Like the other species. 

 Sculpture of scutum finer cephalad. Compared witli EuplectromorpJia nigrifemur.

Babitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. By S680, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the specimen on a 'ag. 



5. EUPLECTRUS CARINISCUTUM new species. 



Female: — Length, 3 mm. 



In my table of Australian species runs to scoiti Girault but upon comparison with the- 

 type of that species I find the following differences: In coloration a striking difference is that 

 the cross-stripe on distal abdomen connecting the marginal stripes at apes is broadly interrupted 

 at meson and also it is much broader extending to apex; there is thus formed a rather broad 

 median path of yellow from a little less than proximal three fourths to apex. The scutellum 

 is shagreened (or reticulated into raised points) instead of longitudinally striate, the axilla) 

 show very faint sculpture. Otherwise about the same in all details mentioned in the description 

 of scotti except that the antennae are black distad of funiele 2. Club solid; mandibles absent. 

 Two ring-joints, the first shortest. 



From one female captured in jungle, April 2. 1914. 



Babitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. By SCSI, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. head on-

EUPLECTROMORPHA new genus.
