MYOCNEMELLA new genus. 

 For description, see o/itcii. y. 19.t. 



C4ENUS MYIOCNEMA Ashmead. 



1. MYIOCNEMA MARMORATIVENTRIS new species. 



Female: — Lengtii. U.><il nim. Witli the liuliitus of Apheliims. 



Pale golden yellow, the alidnmen dark brown except along the sides and marked with 

 ]iale golden yellow as follows: A narrow stripe across base with a nipple-like prolongation 

 at meson distad, three round marginal spots, the distal one smallest (a dot) and at 

 apex of ]proxima] two thirds, a very n.-irrow cross-stripe at apex of proximal three fourths and 

 two more distinct cross-strii)es following the one at base, both broadly interrupted at the 

 meson or subinterrupted ; these two stripes join the first and second marginal spots. 

 Propodeuni dark brown from lateral margin half way to meson, the spiracle appearing like a 

 minute yellow dot. Thorax scaly reticulate; without a median sulcus. Club somewhat longer 

 than the funide, subequal to the scape, the pedicel over half the length of the funicle; funiele 

 1 ring-like, 2 twice the length of 1, 3 a little wider than 2, 4 largest, somewhat wider than 

 long and about a fourth the length of the club. Fore wings as in Aphelinus but without a 

 hairless line, the discal ciliation fine, dense, disappearing proximad of the origin of the mar 

 ginal vein; a line of long stout bristles along .submarginal vein and two shorter lines of 

 similar bristles just caudad of the submarginal vein. Marginal cilia of fore wings short. 

 Caudal wing short and broad. Club 1 subquadrate, 2 conical and somewhat longer. Scape a 

 little compressed. Mandibles bidentate, the second tooth truncate. Hind tibia dorsad, armed 

 with long stiff bristles. Legs normal; middle femur with a long bristle ventro-laterad just 

 before knee. Fore wings hyaline, the venation transparent, the marginal vein only a little 

 over half the length of the submarginal. Hind femora compressed, the tibial spur single; 

 middle tibial spur long and slender Antenna' shajjed like those of Aphelinus. 



In one antenna the dub is solid! 



Habildt : Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland, forest, December 9. 1913. 



Type: No. nij?9Sii, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



Gexlts AXERISTUS Howard. 



This genus differs from Coccopli(i;ni>i Westwood in having the sca])e short, the tlagellnm 

 strongly flattened, the hind tibia! flattened and with a row of short bristles dorsad. 



1. ANERISTUS FUMOSIPENNIS new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd . 



Female: — Length, O.SO nnn. 



Differs from the generic diagnosis in bearing a short ring-joint; the club is not very well 

 differentiated from the funicle. Like Coccophagiis Westwood, except the antennal differences 

 (the flagellura compressed somewhat, jiresence of ring-joint) and the flattened apex of hind 

 tibia;. 



Wholly dark metallic jmrple, the legs and antennas coucolorous, excejiting most of 

 cephalic tibise. distal half of intermediate tibia) and the tarsi, which are yellowish white. Fore 

 wnngs with a conspicuous smoky-black blotch under the marginal vein, the area large, pro- 

 jecting convexly beyond the venation, its ]iroximal margin obliquely truncate from about 

 proximal third or more of the marginal vein. Intermediate tibial spur stout, as long as proximal 

 joint of intermediate tarsi. Mandibles bidentate, the broad inner tooth emarginate, so that 

 a total of three teeth are nearly formed. First funicle joint longest, distinctly longer than
