 Head normal, the face inflexed, tbe serobes well developed, the mandibles strong, triden- 

 tate, the antennaj inserted ventrad of the middle of the face, 13-jointed and as in Fteromalus 

 except that the two ring-joints are not quite so large; funiele joints all somewhat longer than 

 wide and all somewhat longer than the pedicel; club 3-jointed. Scape slender, long. AxilUo 

 barely separated, the delicate curved parapsidal furrows joining distinctly some distance 

 before reaching the caudal margin of the scutum, the latter simple. Propodeum very short, 

 laterad of the spiracle with two parallel carina; (nearly in the lateral as|ieet yet dorsad). 

 Abdomen short and stout, ovate, produced beneath, the ovipositor not exserted, none of the 

 segments greatly lengthened. Fore wings as in Fteromalus, the well-developed postmarginal 

 vein two thirds the length of the marginal, longer tlian the stigmal. Pubescence not conspicu-

Type: No. HyS911, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a tag, the

Mr. A. P. Dodd has identified a second specimen of this species from the same place. 



2. MISCOGASTEROMORPHA EUPELMIFORMIS new species. 

 Fematc: — Length, l.ljil mm. 



Resembles in general Enpi'lmcnnorpha ijiiailricotor Girault liut tlie marginal stripe of 

 abdomen extends only a little distad of middle; the conical scutum, head, axilla) and scutellum 

 are the metallic purple parts while the rest of the coloration is as in that species, except that 

 the abdomen is orange yellow. The fore wings have a yellowish tinge. Scape except at tip 

 above, pedicel and club white; funiele 6 suffused with whitish, quadrate; funiele 1 longest, a 

 little longer than 6 which is shortest and subequal to jiedieel; funiele joints thus all subquad- 

 rate but 1 a little longer than wide. Mandibles tridentate. Thorax sculptured about as 

 in the Eiipelmomorplia but minute setigerous punctures are visible on the scutum. Disk of 

 abdomen at proximal third washed with purple. Segment 2 of abdomen longest, occupying 

 about a little less than a fourtli of the surface, the abdomen delicately scaly. 



From one female captured August 13, 1913 by sweeping in forest.
