AVSTBALIAN ETMKKUFTJiEA ClIALCWOIDEA, Vl.—GIEAVLT. 343 



1. PARAPTEROSEMOIDEA SPURCIPENNIS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.35 mm. 



Dark metaUic green, the legs and scape yellow-brown, the abdomen reddish brown, dark 

 coppery rather broadly at apex and with a not broad metallic stripe across base (also 

 appearance of a narrow dusky stripe across distal edge of segments 2 and 3). Flagellum black; 

 first two ring-joints yellowish; funicle 1 somewhat longer than wide, longest, a little shorter 

 than the pedicel; funicle 5 wider than long, subequal to 2, 3 and 4. Joint 1 of caudal tarsus 

 much longer than any of the others. Fore wing lightly embrowned throughout and with a 

 distinct darker, rather broad cross-strij^e from proximal two thii-ds of the marginal vein and 

 a dark, longer than wide, rectangular area from apex of stigmal vein ; the two are obscurely 

 Connected by a short midlongitudinal arm. There are also two subhyaline cross-stripes, the 

 first just proximad of the cross-stripe, the second just distad of it, between the cross-stripe 

 and the substigmal area. Under the submarginal vein a darker longitudinal streak caudad. Pore 

 wing with broad hairless line but this is closed cephalad by about sLx lines of discal cilia. Head 

 and thorax with usual sculpture, finely punctate. Segments 2 and 3 of abdomen caudad at 

 meson with very slight traces of incisions, the abdomen polished except at apex. 



From one female caught on forest uplands, May 30, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Sdbitat: Maclean (Clarence Kiver), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Uy S81S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, hind 

 legs and a fore wing on a slide. 



PAEATEIGONOGASTBA new genus. 

 Female: — Agreeing with the description of Faracroclisis Girault and running to that 

 genus in my table of genera but differing at once in having segment 4 greatly lengthened, 

 enclosing all but two of the rest of the segments and occupying somewhat over half of the 

 surface (in the other genus four segments are distinct distad of 4). Also, the parapsidal 

 furrows are only a third complete from cephalad, segment 3 of abdomen is a little longer than 

 2 and is straight caudad at meson, the petiole is about twice the length of the hind eoxfe, the 

 jiropodeum is noncarinate but with distinct spiracular sulci and the postmarginal vein is not 

 quite twice the length of the stigmal, barely shorter than the marginal. Otherwise the same. 



1. PARATRIGONOGASTRA VOLTAIREI new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.40 mm. 



Dark seneous green, the wings hyaline; scape pale; coxic ooucolorous, rest of legs reddish 

 brown. Pedicel a little pale, subequal to funicle 1 which is longest, somewhat longer than 

 ivide; funicle 6 somewhat wider than long, 5 subquadrate; club wider, the articiilations not 

 very distinct. Thorax reticulately punctate, including the propodeum. Hind coxae and petiole 

 finely scaly. Abdomen glabrous. Propodeum with a more or less distinct fovea at cephalic 

 margin about half way to spiracle from the meson. Abdomen conie-o^ate. Mandibles 4-dentate. 



Described from one female captured by miscellaneous sweeping, March 29, 1914 (A. P. 

 Dodd). 



Saiitat: Halifax (Ingham), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2819, Queensland Museum, P.risba.ne. the specimen on a tag. 



Subfamily DIPARIN^. 



Genus PANSTENON Walker. 



The Australian species have the parapsidal furrows not quite complete, two large ring- 

 joints and a large pronotum. Types nf hcllicosu!:, aracilis and mistraliensis re-examined. 



1. PANSTENON CLARUS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 2.60 mm. 



Somewhat like iellicosiis but stouter and the alidomen is light yellowish brown with a 

 distinct pattern as follows: It is margined conspicuously but not very broadly with metallic
