16. ANAGYRUS SUBGIGANTEUS new species. 



Female: — Length, about 3.35 mm. Robust. 



Dark rosaceous coppery, the head, face of jironotimi and mesopleurum asneous green,, 

 the antennee black metallic. Legs concolorous but the tarsi soiled 'nhite, the cephalic knees, 

 middle coxa;, femora and knees and most of dorsal edge of caudal femur, reddish brown. 

 Cephalic femur toward ajiex above and immediate tips of cephalic tibire, reddish brown. The 

 very broad caudal wings hyaline, the fore wings very deeply iufuscated from base nearly to 

 apex, the latter rather broadly hyaline, the infuscatiou rather light jiroximad. distinctly much 

 darker and pronounced from a little proximad of the bend of the submarginal vein distad to 

 apex, sooty except the first jiiirt out to end of stigmal vein which is dark brown; proximal 

 margin of the deeper infuscatiou proximad of the hairless line and obliqued caudo-proximad 

 from cephalad; distal margin of infuscatiou convex. A'euation brown-black, the postmarginal 

 vein nearly four fifths the length of the stignial ; hairless line with many lines of cilia proximad 

 of it. Axillsa normal. Frons with rather dense pin-punctures, moderate, a little wider than 

 the cheeks are long, the latter a little over half the length of the eyes. Femora and tibiiJe 

 distinctly compressed (excejit middle legs) ; hind tibial spur distinct. Mesopleurum very 

 finely, densely sheened. Dorsal thorax (except propodeum) with numerous, small yet distinct 

 setigerous punctures, the pubescence contrasting, silvery, moderately dense. Sciitellimi extend- 

 ing to abdomen. Expansion of scai>e great; jiedicel small, scarcely longer than wide at apex; 

 funicle 1 somewhat longer than wide, somewhat longer than the pedicel, the otiiers all a little 

 shorter and shortening slightly distad. 



From one female caught by swee]iing foliage of forest trees, !-!e]iteniber 20, 1914. 



Habitat: Capeville (Pentland), Queensland. 



Tjiiie: No. BySOlS, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, tlie specimen in alcolud with type 

 of Atoiiosoma uny^ittatipes, the head and several legs severed frciui the Ijody. 



This species is able to .iuuiii enormous distances. 



Genus COfcmo.XKNUS Crawford. 



This genns seems to intergrade \\\\\\ .Imiininis Howard, tlie scape gradually widening, 

 the frons variable. However, it may jirove suHicieiitly distinct to be retaiueil. Tlio tendency 

 of the species to cluster about the genotyjie is marked.

 tibia; and cephalic tarsi fuscous, the other tarsi white, the distal joint black, i'ore wing with 

 a distinct broad smoky stripe .across it from the apex of the submarginal vein, its distal margin 

 conical, the a]iex obtuse and distad of end of stigmal vein, the proximal margin nearly straight. 

 Venation black. Frons shagreened. with scattered thimble punctures; eyes convergent above, 

 the lateral ocelli near them; clypeus emarginate at the meson sluillowiy (cephalic margin); 

 antenna! widely separated at base, inserted near the clypeus. Marginal \ein not much longer 

 than wide, slightly shorter tlKiii tlie postniarginal which is only about twn thirds the length 

 of the stigmal. First tooth of inaiidilde acute, the second broadly somewluit concavely truncate. 

 Thorax and abdomen very finely polygonally reticulate, the scutum alsii \vith minute, shallow 

 Iiunctures, the seutellum densely jiunctulate. Abdomen depressed conic-ovate, the valves of the 

 ovipositor extruded for a sixth of tin" length of the abdomen. Oblique hairless line of fore 

 wing narrow. Propodeum short, without a median carina, laterad with dense feathery, greyish 

 pubescence. Discal cilia of fore wing dense and fine, the marginal cilia very short. Antennsc 

 12-jointed, cylindrical, the club 3-.iointed ,-iiid mily slightly enlarged, its distal joint subhemi-
