1. ATANEOSTIGMA Pin^CHRA (Urault. Genotype. 



Male: — Length, 3 nini. 



Black, marked with bright lemon yellow as follows: All ot' scutellum exeopt cephalic 

 margin and a broad, sagittate area along the median line; a cons})icuous wedge-shai)ed area 

 on each side of the abdomen at proximal third, its apex mesad; tlie lateral margins of the 

 scutum conspicuously and all of each jiarapside; tlie antenna? (honey yellow); all of head 

 except most of the disc of vertex; and the legs, the distal tarsal .joint dusky. Head and 

 thorax polygonally reticulated. Wings hyaline. Tyjies re-examined. 



Sabitat : Brisbane, Queensland. 



Types: No. By 3913, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two males on separate slides 

 (remounted). 



EUPELMOMORPHA new genus. 



Feiniilc: — Antenuai inserted below the middle of the face, 12-jointed with one very 

 short but distinct transverse-linear ring-joint, the club .'i-.jointed ; si'robes forming a triangle. 

 Face not iuflexed. Parapsidal furrows delicate, curved off laterally, converging distad and 

 barely separated at the scutellum (.-it their extreme apex). AxilUe barely separated. Marginal 

 vein short, about a fourth the length of the subniarginal, about four times longer than wide 

 and somewhat longer than the stigmal which is rather short and curved; oblique hairless line 

 present. Mandibles tridentate, the middle tooth longest. Hind tiliiai sjiur single. I'ost- 

 marginal vein absent. The male antennai bear four long brandies. 



Differs from Miacogasteromorpha in lacking the postmarginal vein, the short marginal 

 Tein and the single ring-joint which is very short. 



1. EUPELMOMORPHA QUADRICOLOR new species. 



Female: — Length, l.fin iimi. 



Reddish yellow, the propodcum, head, a rather large sulitriangular sjiot in center of 

 scutum at cephalic margin or leading from cejilialic margin conically to scutellum, its apex 

 subacute and a marginal stripe down the abdomen from base nearly to apex (lateral aspect) 

 dark metallic purple. Abdomen suliihur yellow. Legs reddish yellow. Wings hyaline. Distal 

 half of scape (excluding bulla) and of pedicel silvery white. Scape long, slender and curved; 

 pedicel a little shorter than funicle 6, which is distinctly longer than wide and longer than 

 any of the club joints. Panicles 2-3 subequal, nearly thrice longer than wide, 1 and 4 subeijual, 

 each slightly shorter than 2 and 3, 5 shorter and thicker, a little shorter than (i. Club shorter 

 than the scape, somewhat wider than the funicle. Head finely scaly reticulate, the thorax 

 similarly sculptured, the greeu area of scutum with fine whitish hairs; this long cuneate area 

 is green instead of purple. Normal for the family and resembling a species of Eupelmus 

 except that the ovipositor is not exserted and the aliilomen is more depressed. 



Described from two females taken by sweepiug in the forest, August 13, It) 13. 



Uabitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Types: No. TIy:".n4. Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the females on a tag, the heads 

 on a slide. 



2. EUPELMOMORPHA TRICOLOR new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.(31) mm. 



The same as the preceding but the whole thorax and cephalic femora are dark metallic 

 purple. Scutellum very finely longitudinally striate in both sjiecies. Only the distal third of 

 scape white. Scutum green. 



From one female captured January 1, 1913 by sweeinng in forest (A. P. Dodd).
