3. CffiLOCYBOMYIA PERSIMILIS ne\v species 

 Fcinalc: — Length, 1.75 mm. 



Like the ]ireee(liiig species Imt the strjjies uii the abfUimeii Jitt'er iu that they are 

 (listiuctly narrower (much over their wiiltli a]iart. not as in the allied species) and the si.xth is 

 repi-esented by a niesal dot only; also the black line across apex of scutelhmi is absent, that 

 across cephalic margin of the propodenm also absent. The antenna' differ in the length of the 

 pedicel. The face is inflexed in both species. 



Unfortunately before noticing the s]iecific identity of tliis s|iecies its head was mounted 

 with the only head of novisexfa.sckitus and the antenna' became mixed. One species has a 

 longer ])edicel than the other. 



Described from one female mounted with the alxiVe ;iud from the same source. 



Habitat : Melbourne, Victoria. 



2'iipf: In the National Museum, .Melbnurnc. the above specimen aiul a slide bearing a 

 head as stated. 



4. CCELOCYBOMYIA NIGRIVENTRIS new species. 

 Female: — Length, i!.0."> mm. 



Orange yellow, the head, ju-onotuni, the transverse sclerite following the scutellnni, the 

 |iostscutellnm, caudal thu'd or more of each parapside, distal margin of abdomen dorsad, legs, 

 \-enter of abdomen, scape and propodeum transversely nieso-cephalad greenish-yellow. Wings 

 hyaline. L'pper half of occiput, venter of thorax, dorsum of abdomen except distal margin, all 

 dorsal thoracic sutures except that between pronotum and mcsonotum and between axilte and 

 jiarapsides and the ])ropodeum jet black. A black spot at cephalic margin of axilla centrally. 

 Flagellum brownish, closely resembling that of the tyjie S]ieeies. Mandibles distinctly tridentate. 



Described from many females reared from galls on yo\ing gum. ^larch 11. 



llahilat: Melbourne. A^ictoria. 



Tjipcs: In the National Museunt, Melbouriie, t uo females on a tag. 



The genus resembles Girlocyba Aslmicad but the scutelluin is more Hat and there is a 

 transv(^rse sclerite between it and the transverse postscutellum. Also, the marginal, postmarginal 

 and stigmal \'eins are longer. 



NEOPERILAMPUS new genus, Girault .and Dodd. 

 7'V»irt/('; — Pitfers from Kpi]-iriilnmpitx Oirault in that the axillaj are widely se])arated. 



1. NEOPERILAMPUS NIGER new species of Girault and Dodd. Genotype. 



Fimalc: — Length, 2.60 mm. 



.let; .sca|ie lemon yelloiv; tibiae and tarsi white. .Sfutum and scuti'llum nith fine luilygonal 

 scaly scul]iture. Parapsidal furiows deei>, very wi<lely seiiar.ated ; axillaj with their mcsal angles 

 ,inst mesad of the meso-caudal angles of the jiaraiisides. Scntellum long, distinctly convex. 

 I'ropodeum glabrous, with a faint median carina .and distiju-t lateral sulci. Abdomen ainio.st 

 smooth but with a few scattered setigerous j)in-iuinctuves, the second segment occupying nearly 

 a half of the surface. Venation yellowish, the wings hyaline, the marginal vein thickened, the 

 stigmal not short, nearly as long as the marginal, the postmarginal somewhat longer than the 

 stigmal. Mandibles bidentate, the inner nmrgin of the second tooth obliquely truncate. 

 Antenna) 13-joint.ed, inserted near the middle of the face, with two distinct ring-joints, the club 

 :i jointed. Ring-joints very transverse. Funicle 1 slightly shorter than the pedicel, subqnadrate. 

 joints '2-6 all much wider than long. Club joints wider than long. 



Described from one female taken in jungle, .Inly ?1. 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habit fit: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Ey3734. Queensland ^Museum. Rrisbanc. the s)iecimen on a t.-ig, the head on a
