3. iENASIELLA AMPUS new si»cies. 



Female: — Length, l.A', niiii. exclusive of uvipositor wliit-h is extruded for a tliird tlie 

 length of tbe abdomen. 



Same as apioiiioyiiluF but somewhat smaller, the ovipositor is distinctly but not longly 

 extruded, the general coloration is dark metallic jiurple, the knees, tips ot tibiaj and tarsi 

 brownish; also funicle 1 is distinctly wider than long not a little longer than wide as in 

 apiomorpluF. The obscure thimble punctures are not evident on the face. All the funicle joints 

 here are wider than long, 1 shorter than 2, wliereas in (ipiomorphw joints 5-G only are wider 

 than long, 1-3 subequal, -i a little longer than M. Face less distinctly carinated between the 

 antennas. 



The male antenna' are black and less densely cJDthcd. the li;iirs thinner and cui'led ; 

 funicle 1 smaller than the others, not as lari;e as the pedicc'l which is as large as the other 

 funicle joints and subglobular. Compared with types of iipiotiiorplia'. 



In this species the mandibles are more distinctly tridentate. 



Described from one male, five feniali's l.-ibelled "17. Nat. Mus. Victoria. Bred from 

 Apioinorpha pileata, North Melbourne."
