A female, forest, type locality, May 27, 1914 autl anotlier by sweeping forest on sand- 

 ridges near coast, Ghindera, New South Wales, May 8, 1914 (A. P. Dodcl). The scape is 

 white along jjrosimal two thirds; mandibles 6-dentate. Coxa metallic on proximal half, long; 

 the general color may be aeneous green. The median carina of propodeum extends not quita 

 half way to apex from base. 



A. ASYMPIESIELIiA NELSONENSIS GRACILIS new variety. 



Female: — Length, 3 mm. 



Exactly similar to the typical form, but very much smaller and dark metallic green; 

 the distal fuuiele joint is shorter, being only slightly longer than wide, while the proximal 

 club joint is barely longer than the distal (in the typical forms somewhat longer). The 

 mandibles (i-dentate in both forms, the two outer teeth largest, subequal. In both the coxae 

 are concolorous at base, the thorax reticulate-isunctate, the jjropodeimi showing reticulation 

 delicately, the postseutellum more distinctly. Antenna; with two ring-joints, the first short; 

 first three funicle joints distinctly compressed. Compared with ty-jjes of typical form. 



From one female captured by sweeping among bushes, October 10, 1914 (G. F. Hill). 



Habitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territoiy. 



Type: No. Syi713, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag.

 Differs from neJsoncnsis in being more slender, the mandibles 7-dentate, the scape wholly

3. ASYMPIESIELLA SUPERBUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 2.70 mm. 



A'ertex of head thin. Antenna3 inserted below middle of face, 10-jointed, two ring-joints, 

 four funicle joints, two club joints. Marginal vein long, as long as submarginal, stigma! 

 vein moderately long, postmarginal two and a half times the length of stigmal, scarcely half 

 the length of the marginal. Scutum longer than pronotum, as long as wide ; axilte advanced ; 

 scutellum sunple. Propodeum rugulose, without carina. Abdomen sessile, conie-ovate, no 

 longer than head and thorax united, first segment longest, equal to nearly a third of surface. 

 The abdomen is shorter than in the genotype. Bright metallic green, the thorax coppery; 

 legs (except apical joint of tarsi) and basal half of antennal scape very pale straw yellow; 

 rest of antennaj black. Wings hyaline. Scutum and scutellum with dense, scaly reticulation, 

 the reticulation in raised lines. Pedicel short, scarcely longer than wide, funicle 1 fully three 

 times as long as pedicel, second and third funicle joints subequal, each a fourth sliorter 

 than 1, 4 somewhat shorter than 3, club a little longer than preceding joint.
