COPIDOSOMYIA new .genus. 

 Female: — Head (cephalic aspect) long-ovate, distinctly longer than wide, narrower 

 ventrad, the cheeks two-thirds the length of the eyes, the frons narrow, the antenna? inserted at 

 the mouth border, the ser(jl)es tormiug a rather shallow very short triangle, the face convex, with 

 ■scattered thimble punctures. Antenuic 9-jointed, the scape long and slender, the pedicel" 

 moderately long (one and three fourth tunes longer than wide at apex), nuich longer than 

 any of the funicle joints of which 1 is longest, sonu^what longer tlian wide and subeijual to 2; 

 3 and 4 slightly longer than wide, 5 and 6 a little wider than long: club solid, long conic-ovate, 

 a little over half the length of the funicle ; no ring-Joint. Axillre rather broadly joined at 

 meson. Hind tibial spur single; legs slender. Abdomen shorter than the thora.x, flat above, 

 compressed beneath, the ovijiositor very shortly extruded. Marginal vein twice as long as wide, 

 the postmarginal vein a third longer than it, the stigmal long, still longer than the postmarginal ; 

 oblique hairless line short, distinct, the fore wing with a rather broad, distinct sooty stripe 

 across it from the proximal end of the bend of the submarginal vein to a little beyond the 

 apex of the stigmal, the discal eiliation proximad coterminous with the proximal margin of 

 this stripe. Marginal cilia of fore wing very short. Second segment of abdomen occupying 

 half of surface, obtuse, short. Mandibles with three acute, subecjual teeth. Head shaped like 

 that of an ant. Genal suture subobsolete. 



1. COPIDOSOMYIA CINCTrVENTRIS new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 1.(1(1 mm. 



Black-blue, the antenna' ami legs concoiorous; chib. a band around base of abdomen, 

 •one around hind tibiae just below knees and distal third of cephalic femur, yellowish white. 

 Pronotum and scutum tinely scaly; head, scutellum and axillai more coarsely so. Metaplenrum 

 with some silvery pubescence. Pronotum and scutum with some sparse whitish pubescence. 

 Propodeum noncarinate, together with the abdomen practically smooth. Base of extruded 

 portion of valves of oviijosltor suffused with whitish. 



Prom one female caught in jungle, Decemlier 3, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. 



T/ipe: No. HijSOli, Queensland Museum. Brisbane, the s[iecimen on a tag; antenna, 

 fore wing and a hind tibia on a slide. 



This genus seems related to Copidosoma and allies but the mandibles apjicar to disagree 

 with those of that genus and the club is solid.

1. ZARHOPALOIDES AXILLARIS new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, O.sil mm. 



Dark metallic green, the wings hyaline; legs, head (exce|it uiijier occiput). axilla>. the 

 transverse pronotum, extreme ajiex of scutellum and a rather broad band across caudal scutum 

 (a little over caudal third of scutum) lemon yellow; abdonuMi black-purjile. Vertex orange 

 yellow. Antennip dusky yellow, the scape and jjedicel lemon yellow, the iiedicel metallic above. 

 . Scape of moderate length, shorter than the funicle whose joints are wiiler than long, enlarging 

 distad, 1 and 2 nearly like ring-joints, smallest; pedicel a little longer than funicle 6; club 

 subequal to the scape, wider than the funicle: funicle G somewhat wider than 1, thrice longer. 

 Mandibles with three short, acute, une(|ual teeth, the second longcsr, the first shortest. Checks 

 nearly as long as the eyes, the face intlexed, the frons not prominent, broad. Ocelli nearly in 

 a straight line, the lateral ones nearly their own diameter from the eye margins. Marginal 

 vein a little wider than long, jiostmarginiil distinct, sonunvhat over half the length of the 

 stigmal which is twice the length of the marginal. Cilia jiroximad of hairless line sparse, two 

 lines guarding the path distinct. Discal cilia of fore wing very fine, dense, the fore wing 

 pyriform. Hind tibia) with two spurs, the first very short. Axilhn separated for some little
