Genus EUPLECTROPHELINUS Girault. 

 In tlie genotype, the propodeum is black mcsad out nearly to the lateral carina. A second 

 specimen had the propodeum black only down the median line rather broadly. 



PROARDALUS new genus of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Similar to Ardaloides Girault but uonmetallie and there is only one ring- 

 joint and the petiole of abdomen is shorter, the second segment not depressed and obeonie as in 

 Ardaloides whose petiole is slender, longer than the hind cosai and somewhat over thrice 

 longer than its width. The petiole with this genus is not as long as the hind coxse (per se) 

 and not much longer than wide, the second segment convex-hemispherical, occupying somewhat 

 over a fourth of the surface. Otherwise about the same. Similar to Euplectrophelinus Girault 

 but there is but the one ring-joint, the ]iropodcum is without a neck and lateral carina; (but 

 with lateral sulci) and the second aVidominal segment is much shorter (about half the surface 

 in the other). 



Type: The following species. 



1. PROARDALUS NIGRICAPUT new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd 



Female: — Length, 1.15 mm. 



Shining black, the wings hyaline, the abdomen, legs, scape and pedicel (but darker), 

 yellow-brown, the abdomen margined all round rather broadly with blackish. Grooves of 

 scutellum joining round apex. Thorax reticulated, the lines not raised. Seutelhim and pro- 

 podeum practically without sculpture, polished. Segment 2 of abdomen equal in length to 

 3 and 4 combined, its caudal margin slightly convexed. Mandibles 6-dentate. Funiele 4 a 

 little the longest, the others subequal, all oval, not much longer than wide. Pedicel about 

 equal to the funiele joints, much shorter than the solid club, which is not of great length. 



Described from one female canglit by sweeping grass and foliage on edge of jungle, 

 September 20, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Northern Queensland (Kuranda near Cairns). 



Type: No. Sy S70S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a tag, the 

 head and hind legs on a slide. 



Tribe ELACHERTOIDINI. 

 The tarsi are 5-jointed, the hind tibial spurs double. 



Genus DIPARELLOMYIA Girault. 

 The parapsidal furrows are complete. Antea, p. 179, line 10, post marginal should read 

 .inhmarginal. A female, forest, type locality, August 20, 1914, was rosaceous coppery instead 

 of dark green but otherwise the same. The cross-suture on scutellum is fine, the latter shining, 

 the scaly sculpture visible but faint. 



Teibe EULOPHINI. 



Genus GROTIUSELLA Girault. 



The jjarapsidal furrows are variable, most frequently not reaching the axUlse. 

 EuloplUnusia is the same as this genus. Antennae inserted on a level with the ventral end of 

 the eyes. Abdominal segments snbequnl. 



1. GROTIUSELLA CYDIPPE (Girault). 



EulopJiiimsia cydippe (Girault). 

 Length, 1.12 mm. This species resembles EJachcrtoiiecremnus circnmjectus Girault m 

 some respects, the body similar and the scutellum and axillte are similarly margined with 

 golden yellow. But there are two slender hind tibial spurs and the mandibles bear less teeth.
