154 MEMOIh'S OF THK QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



above antenna! insertions. Axillae not quite meeting inwardly. Mandibles bidentate, both teeth 

 strong. Abdomen short, produced ventrad, the ovipositor usually projecting some distance 

 bevond, naked and slender. Fore nings simple, infuscated, with an oblique hairless line from 

 the junction of the marginal and stigmai veins, the marginal vein rather long but a third 

 shorter than the postmarginal, the stigmai well developed slightly shorter than the postmarginal. 

 Legs normal, the posterior tibia; with one spur, the intermediate tibial spur not enlarged. 

 Mandibles appearing acute or edentate from above (their lateral aspect). Labial palpi 

 3-jointed, the maxillary 4-jointed. 



The cylindrical sca])e, cephalic characters, antennal segmentation and the long post- 

 marginal vein serve to distinguish this genus. 



1. PARANUSIA LONGISCAPUS (Jirault. Female. Genotype. 



Length, 1.75 mm. 



f^ubmetallie greenish black, the face below the transverse suture, the mesoscutum and 

 axillae dark reddish; legs black, the tarsi lemon yellow^; fore wings stained irregularly, the 

 venation fuscous. Sides of thorax reddish; antenna; black. Head and thorax impunctate, finely 

 alutaceous. Pedicel longer than any of the funiele joints, of which the third is longest, all 

 ■widening distad and prolonged at one side from apex, the sixth four times wider than long; 

 club somewhat over half the length of the funiele. 



Described from eleven specimens on two cards (one pin) and mounted with ants upon 

 ■ which they are probably parasitic. 



Habitat: Murray Bridge, South Australia. 



Ti/pc: l.:li:)0, South Australian Museum, the above specimens and a slide bearing 

 head and fore wing. 



Genus EPANUSIA Girault. 



Like Annsia Foerster but the marginal vein not short, over twice longer than wide, 

 the postmarginal vein not much shorter than the marginal, somewhat longer than the stigmai; 

 the lateral ocelli are far distant from the eye margins, the frons is moderately broad, with a 

 very fine scaly sculpture and scattered jiin-pnnctures. The wings are jierfect and banded. 

 Otherwise the same. Fore wing with a long hairless line back fnun stigmai vein and which 

 curves, proximad. Axilla- slightly se]iarated. Kobust. 



1. EPANUSIA BIFASCIATUS Girault. Female. Genotv-pe. 



Length, 2.10 mm. 



Dark blue, submetallic, the scutum and propodeum with short white pubescence, the 

 scutellum bright orange, the axilte and pronotum (less so) suffused with orange; head also- 

 orange, the vertex darker. Fore wings with two narrow black bands, the first across from the 

 marginal and postmarginal veins, subcrescentic. its distal margin concave; the second across 

 from the bend of the submarginal vein, both fainter near caudal margin; the blade distad of 

 the apex of the postmarginal vein densely, finely, uniformly ciliate and lightly embrowned; 

 venation brown-black; stigmai vein nearly at right angles to the marginal. Legs concolorous, 

 except cephalic femora, all knees and tarsi which are brownish. Antennae foliaceous, including 

 the scape, greatly compressed, concolorous, the 3-jointed club, however, conieo-cylindrical. the 

 sixth or distal joint of the funiele subquadrate but still flat, the pedicel triangular, minute, the 

 first funiele joint obconic, much the longest of the funiele, the next three joints distinctly much 

 wider than long; no ring-joint, eleven antennal joints. Scutum green, body finely sculptured. 

 Scutum with a short silvery jiubescence. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, September '.i, 1913. 



Type: No. Hy 3109, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the fenuile on a tag, the head and a 

 fore wing on a slide. 



A second specimen, tyj'e lucality. May 29, 1012 in forest at 1.500 feet.
