little longer than the eyes; scvobes rather short, not meeting above, the cavity divided by a 

 median ridge. Frons not prominent. Face rather strongly inflexed. Scutellum a little shorter 

 than the scutum, the latter with scattered hispidescence from minute, very obscure punctures. 

 Fore wing Tvith uniform discal cilia. Head rounded. 



From two females captured in jungle, March 5, 1914. 



Eabiiat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Types: No. Sy.^cC'tl. Queensland Museum. Urisliane. the two females on a tag; head 

 and fore wing on a slide. 



Hairless line of fore wing with about five lines of cilia proximad of it. Fore wings 

 rather slender. 



Differs from Eiictirius in being wliolly metallii-. in having the frons broad, the longer 

 marginal vein whicli is somewliat longer tlian tlie stigmal. 



EriFXrVKTOTDES new genus. 

 1. EPIENCYRTOIDES QUADRIDENTATUS new species. Genotype 



Female: — Length, 0.83 mm. Depressed. Valves of ovipositor slightly extruded. 



Rather light metallic green, the abdomeu cojiper}- except at base; legs white except 

 intermediate and hind coxa', liind femur, hind knee and a band around hind tibia just below 

 and not at knees. Antennai wliite except ju'oximal two joints of club, scape at sides of tip 

 and proximal part of pedicel. Fore wing dusky at distal third, the piroximal margin of 

 the infuscation acute at center, concaved on each side from this; also a dusky area along 

 and against the marginal vein and obscurely opposite that vein at caudal margin. Scutellum 

 densely punctulate. Body delicately scaly. Scape a little compressed; pedicel somewhat 

 longer than either of the distal two funicle joints which are nearly subequal, largest, somewhat 

 wider than long, the preceding four joints subecjual, much wider than long, each not half 

 the length rif joint 5; ring-joint very short; club subequal to the funicle and wider. Marginal 

 vein two and a quarter times longer than wide, the stigmal a fourth shorter than it, the 

 postmarginal a little shorter than the stigmal; oblique hairless line present. Fore wing very 

 lightly stained under all of venation. Mandibles with four distinct, small teeth, the outer 

 a little the longer and more acute. Frons moderately broad. Cheeks subequal to the eyes. 

 Face rather strongly inflexed. Axilla> narrow, joined, a short carina between them. Head 

 (cephalic aspect) rounded. Scutellum triangular, the apex obtuse. Hind tiliial s]nir small. 

 Infuscation of fore wing generally coterminous with the discal ciliation. 



From one female caught June 27, 1913 by sweeiiing in forest. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: Xo. BySOSO, Queeusland Museum. Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, a fore 

 wing and hind tibia on a slide. 



Later, two females, Kuranda. open jungle, -lanuary, 1H13 (A. P. Dodd) and one at 

 Burnett Heads, Southern Queensland, forest, June. 1914 (A. T. Dodd). Also one in tVu-est. 

 -Afay 13. 1914, Chindera (Tweed River), New South Wales. 



Club conic-ovate, not oliliijuely truncate. I^inicle joints enlarging distad. 



2. EPIENCYRTOIDES AXILLARIS new species. 



Female: — Length. 0.78 mm. Dificrs notably from the genotype in having the axilUe 

 distinctly separated for some distance. 



Similar in form to the genotype. Dark metallic green, the scutum blue, the wings hyaline 

 excepting just under or along the marginal vein. Abdomen darker except at base. Legs about 

 as in the genotype but the hind tibias are all black except at each end rather broadly and the 

 middle tibifB have a dusky spot ventrad below knee. Sculpture about as in the genotype; 

 also the venation but the discal ciliation (.t the tcu'e wing is uniform nearly to the hairless line,
