 wider than long (normal position) and is separated from the other much longer than wide, 

 caudal portion (on caudal margin) by an oblique liyaliiie line; the caudal portion is jiarallel 

 with the caudal margin and jiroximad of the axis of tlie lirst. About eight lines of discal 

 cilia proximad of the hairless line. Marginal vein jjunctiform. the postmarginal very short, 

 distinct, the stigmal moderate, distinct, a little over twice the length of the marginal. Tlind 

 tibial sjiur single, minute. Mandildes with three weak leeth. A.xilte narrow, barely sejiarated. 

 Thorax and head scaly reticulate. Scajje a little compressed; club shorter than the scape, 

 acutely conic-ovate, about three fourths the length of the funicle or a little more; pedicel 

 distinctly longer than any of the funicle joints whii'h are all a little wider than long Init 1 is 

 quadrate; funicle joints gradually widening distad. Frons moderately narrow; head rounded, 

 face intiexed, cheeks a little over half the length of the eyes. Scntelluiii large. Ring- joint

From one female caught in forest. April ](1, VMi (A. 1'. Dodd). 



Habitat: Cloncurry, Queensland. 



Type: No. ByS976, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, a hind tibia 

 and a fore wing on a slide. 



Gexus ISODi^DMOIDES Cirault. 



Somewhat similar to I.soilromus Howard but the marginal vein not jiunctiform. the 

 stigmal nearly twice longer than it but not especially long, the pleura of propodeum without 

 dense white pubescence and the anteuniE bear a ring-joint, the club solid, the antennae 

 10-jointed. Head (cephalic aspect) slightly wider than long, the scrobes rather short, forming 

 a triangle, distant from the cephalic ocellus, the antenme inserted near the clypeus, the club 

 obliquely, acuminately truncate along one side, not half the length of the funicle where the 

 first joint is cylindrii-al anil as long as the pedicel, the distal joints wider than long but 

 narrower than the club. .Scape slender, pedicel long, tlie ring-joint very short. Eyes somewhat 

 convergent dorsad, the lateral ocelli not quite touching their nuirgins. Axilla; cuneate, meeting 

 at the meson. Scutellum simple. Abdomen short, triangular, flat above, the ovipositor not 

 exserted. Mai'ginal vein about twice longer than broad, the jiostmarginal subvestigial, scarcely 

 perceptible; fore wings fumated and with an oLilique hairless line. Intermediate tarsi armed 

 beneath with black teeth as in many eni>elmine genera but here not quite so densely. Hind 

 tibife W'ith one spur. The two lateral mandibular teeth acute, suber|ual, the mesal shorter and 

 truncate. Somewhat similar to Mcnisroci'/ilialiis Perkins of the Ectromini.

Length. 1.7."j mm. 



Black, scarcely metallic but the distal margins of the scutellum verdigris green; tips 

 of tibise and all of each tarsus whitish yellow. Antenna; suffused slightly with brownish. Fore 

 wings entirely embrowned except proximad out as far as the end of the submarginal vein, the 

 fumation accented under the marginal and stigmal veins. A'enation brown. Head and thorax 

 densely, finely punctate, the punctures formed by reticulation. Axilla^ smoother. 



Hahitat: Townsville, Queensland. Parasitic upon Eiuptirops iloddi Eothsc-hild. .Tangle.' 

 Anril 28, 1003 (F. P. Dodd). Many females. 



Types: No. EySi)77, Queensland Jhiseum, Brisbane, three females on a card; hind legs, 

 antennie, a head and fore wing on a slide. 



Mr. A. P. Dodd kindly identified the host, a tineid parasitic upon Fulgorida; and whose 

 peculiar habits are described in Novitates Zoologic*. XIII. liMni. |ip. liii-li;;). In the second 

 paragrajih of p. 166, it is stated " The ichnenmons all issue from tin" one hole, and the earlier 

 ones to emerge are finely powdered. ' '
