axilte distinctly sej.arated for some distance; knees, tarsi and tii.s of tibia; yellowisli white 

 Joints 5 and of funicle white, 5 suffused witli dusky; distal two club joints suffused with 

 whitish. Fore wings sooty from the bend of tlie submarginal vein distad to apex, the sootiness 

 broken by the oblique hairless line and by six rounded spots— two eggshaped ones facing each 

 other in the center of the blade just before ajiex ; two larger rounded ones, one at apex' of 

 venation at cephalic margin, one at caudal margin somewhat distad of a point opposite the 

 first; a similar sj.ot opposite the marginal vein at caudal third, one end against the oblique 

 hairless line; and the sixth (smallest) one between the oblique hairless line and venation, 

 in the angle subtended by them. Scape distinctly dilated (compressed) ventrad but the 

 convexity not very great; pedicel a little longer than wide, somewhat longer than funicle 6 which 

 is longest of the funicle. yet wider than long; funicle joints 1-4 short, twice longer than wide, 4 

 a little the longest, o twice the length of 4. a little smaller than 6. Club conic-ovate, nearly 

 as long as the funicle. Second tooth of mandible truncate. Marginal vein a little over thrice 

 longer than broad, the postmarginal subobsolete. the stigmal vein short, colorless, the fuscous 

 patch just cephalad of the hyaline spot at ajiex of the black marginal vein, distinctly darker. 

 Discal ciliation of fore wings extremely fine and dense, the marginal ciliation short. Frons 

 moderate, the antenna' 11 -jointed, inserted about on a level with the ventral ends of the eyes. 

 Head (cephalic aspect) rounded. Pubescence not (■(ms|iicu(ius. very sparse, no ring-joint. 

 Scrobcs distinct, moderate. Cheeks nearly as long as the eyes. 



From one female caught by svvee]iing jungle along a forest streamlet. December 2 19r> 

 (A. V. Dodd). 



Habitat: (Jurdonvale (Cairns). Queensland. . 



Ti/l'c: Xo. BiiShH. (Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head and a 

 fore wing on a slide. 



Later, a female was found from Ayr, (.Queensland, captured .November li. 1!)I2 by 

 sweeping in natural forest. In this specimen all of funicle .5 was white. 



Also a female from Cloncurry, forest, April 18, 1914 (A. P. Dodd); one from Chindera, 

 New South Wales (forest, sand-ridges near coast). May i», lilU (A. P. Dodd); and one at 

 Capeville (Pentland), Queensland, forest, September 10. 1914. 



PAKASTENOTERYS new 



genua 



Female: — In Ashinead 's (1904) table of genera running to the second part ot couplet 

 1.") but differs from the included genera in having the axilte distinctly separated yet not for 

 a great distance. The flagellum is strongly clavate, the vertex and frons moderate (neither 

 broad nor especially narrow), the scrobes deep, tolerably long, not joined above but separated 

 by a distinct ridge from the base of the antenna'. From cephalic as])ect. the head is longer 

 Uian wide. Marginal vein of fore wing a little over thrice longer than wide, the postmarginal 

 •ind stigmal veins subequal, each about two thirds the length of the marginal. Oblique hairless 

 line and marginal cilia present, the former narrow. Abdomen not as long as the thorax, 

 jiointed, depressed, the second segment occupying over a third of the surface, the others .short, 

 transverse. Ovipositor not exserted. Proiiodeiim large. Mandibles with two equ.-il, acute 

 teeth.

Female: — Length, 1.33 mm. 



Metallic purple, the scutellum rosaceous r(i|i|iery: legs excejit the coiicolorons hind coxje 

 and the scape reddish or yellowish brown, the distal two club joints yellowish white. Fore 

 ivings distinctly embrowned from a little out from base to apex but with a midlongitudinal 

 hyaline line from apex to proximal third. Thorax very finely scaly, the pronotum, scutum, 

 .axillae and scutellum with numerous, distinct, but not large, setigerous punctures. All of the 

 mesal part of propodeuni foveolate, farther laterad smooth, with a lateral carina and the lateral
