 half the length of the abtlomen. 



Orange yellow; face of iirniiiitum c-i-iitrally. s.-utiim, |irii]ioc|eiiin, ].roxiiiial margin of 

 abdomen and its lateral margin along imiximal half, metallic green. Tarsi, fore legs and distal 

 half of middle tibiae, wliite. rest of legs blackish. S<-a|ie yellow, next tln-ee joints dusky, joints 

 3-6 of funicle silvery white, the elub black. Face between the serobes lemon yellow, I'ore 

 wing hyaline, deeply sooty from the straight ]iroxiiiial border of discal ciliation (about half the 

 length of the marginal vein distant proximad of that vein) distad to over half tlic distance 

 to apex from the apex of venation, tlie ajiieal margin of tlie infnsi-ation highly, regularly convex. 

 Oblique hairless line with about six rather .leuse lines of disi-al cilia i)roximad of it. Marginal 

 vein thrice the length of the short stigmal, the |uistmarginal vein half the length of the stigmal. 

 Distal margin of infumation of fore wing witli a hyaline, naked path bordering it; from tlience 

 distad, the wing slightly infuscated. Ovipositor \alves black at distal third, soiled white 

 elsewhere. Thorax very finely scaly, the scutum with silvery white puhescence. .\xilla.' broadlv 

 separateil mesad, no carina between tliem. Tuft of bristles on scutellum between center and 

 apex, distinct but scanty, divided into two small tufts. Mandibles with three equal, acute 

 teeth. Scrobes well developed, the face strongly intlexed ventrad. Head narrowed ventrad, 

 distinctl.y longer than wide, the face convex, the frons rather narrow, a little over thrice the 

 diameter of the cephalic ocellus. Scape hmg and slender; |)edicel somewhat less than twice 

 longer than wide at apex, uuicli longer tlian any of the fuMicli' joints which are short, 1 

 snbquadrate, 5 shortest. '.i-G somewhat wider th.-m long; cluli large, :i jointed, a little longer than 

 the funicle. Hind tibial spnr single. 



l-'rom two females caught by swee]iing in forest, April Hi, l'.H4 (.\. I'. Hodd). 



Hubittit : (Jloncurry, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy3'<93, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, twn females on a tag; head, fore 

 wing and a hind leg on a slide. 



In the second female, the tuft on si-utelhun was (juite norni.al. The autennal club is 

 distinctly compressed or flattened from the sides. Discally, on dorsal abdomen within jiroximal 

 half, there is much metallic coppery narrowing proximad and joining the metallic green across 

 base. 



2. ACHRYSOPOPHAGUS CLAVATUS now species. 



Fcmali : — l.enytli, 1 mm., exi-luding i.\ i|iiisitiir wliic-h is exlii'ded for half the length 

 of the abdomen. 



Differs from the genotype in being somewhat sm.-iller, in ha\ing thi> valves of the 

 oviijositor wholly whiti'. the scutum distinctly sluu-ter, the pronotum metallic greeTi mesad, 

 the propodeum wholly yellow, the [iroximal half of the abdomen dorsad dark metallic green, 

 the coxa) and femora except distal end of hind femur silvery white, the axillfe joined and with 

 a carina between them, the head wholly yellow, also the faci- of pronotum. Legs orange yellow. 

 Face in oviductus metallic just above the inflection. .\11 funicle joints and apex of scape 

 silvery white, pedicel and scape orange yellow, the former blackish above at base. Club black. 

 .Joints 2-4 of funicle shortest. The fore wings are a little narrower than in the genotype, the 

 short, silvery pubescence less conspicuous on scutum, more so on scutellum. Hind femur with 

 a black stripe down it laterad from middle to apex and central (also in the genotype). Com- 

 pared with type of oriiliictu.s. 



From one female caught in forest, .Line 10, liil4. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns) . (Queensland. 



Ti/pe: No. Hy3994, Queensland Muse\im. Brisbane, the specimen on a l.ag; heail, fore
