either, limgest. :; and 3 togetlicr oi-.-ii|i.viiit; lialf of the snrfac-f. Femora coueoloroiis. The 

 general coloration may be brigliter iti indivi<luals. Coiiiiiioii on windows at Gordonvale. On 

 ilay n. 1914, at this hitter place, this species was abundant in a box of seed corn infested 

 with a common icvMu weevil \Cnltindni) ancl obtained from a local grocer. Formerly, I had 

 seen it abundant in other lots of this corn received from the same grocer and infested with the 

 same weevil (most probalily iiranana but not critically .examined). The spiraeular sulci are 

 present. Pubescence not psi)ecially noticeable. The lateral carina is short, nearly wholly 

 transverse and originates at the lateral side of the fo\ea at cephalic margin of propodeum. A 

 rather common species. Ty|)es re-examined. 



2. APLASTOMORPHA SAGA new si^ecies. 



Female: — Length, 2.75 mm. 



Rather bright metallic green, the coxa? eoncolorous, the legs white, but the last two pairs 

 of femora brownish black. Scape reddish brown. Differs from nuslraliensis in having the 

 lateral carina} complete, not curving to form a eross-carina. Antennaj black, the pedicel not 

 quite as long as the distal funicle joint which is somewhat wider than long, the joint 

 preceding it quadrate; third club joint much the shortest. Clypeus longitudinally striate. 

 Marginal, postmargiual. and stigmal veins are a little longer than with uusfrnlieiisis but of 

 the same relative lengths. J'arapsidal fiinnws incomplete. Mucli Ijrighter than auf^trnlien.six. 

 Segments 2. 7 and ."i of abdomen longest, .". and 4 short, none long. 



Male : — Unknomi . 



Described from one female from a yall on Eucaly|itus, forest, November 1, 191H. The 

 specimen of australiensui formerly recorded from miscellaneous galls was this species. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), (Queensland. Gall on Eucalyptus. 



Type: No. HyS'iGS, Queensland Museum, BrisViane, the above female on a tag, the 

 head and caudal legs on a slide. 



"This species is at once distinguished from jtulehni Girault and Dodd by having a long 

 slender abdomen, the latter much longer than the thorax." (A. P. Dodd.") 



3. APLASTOMORPHA PULCHRA new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd, 



Female: — Length, 2.2.5 mm. 



Agreeing with the generic descri]>tion. except that the lateral carina; on tlie jiropodeum 

 are present aud distinct. 



Brilliant metallic blue-green, the coxa) eoncolorous; abdomen suffused with brown; eyes 

 garnet; rest of legs and antennal scape golden yellow; pedicel and ring-joints dusky yellow; 

 flagellum black. ' Wings hyaline, the venation golden yellow. Thorax densely punctate; 

 parapsidal furrows two thirds complete. Abdomen no longer than the thorax; second segment 

 occupying almost one third of the surface; third not one half as long; 4-6 subequal, each 

 longer than third. First funicle joint distinctly longer than the pedicel, distinctly longer than 

 wide; 2-.5 n-ider than long; club not miudi longer than wide; ring-joints rather small. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from one female caught by sueeiniig grass and foliage, forest, January 29, 

 ]9i3 (A. A. Girault).
