From one female caught in forest, June 4, 1914 (A. P. Uodd). 



Habitat: Copmanhurst (Upper Clarence Eiver), New South ^Vales. 



Typi : No. HySloS, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the s]>ecimen on a tag; head, hind 

 tibia" and a fore wing on a slide with type Arliriistip(ipha(iu!i ovidiirlus. 



2. ARHOPOIDEUS SECUNDUS new species. 



Fonale: — Slightly smaller tliau the genotype and differing in h;iving the scape all black, 

 shorter and stouter, the caudal femora ami tibiie washed with dnsky. Also, the frons is moderate 

 and the scutellum black-green. Compared with type of genotype. 



Prom one female caught on forest uplands. May 28, 1914 (A. I'. Dodd). 



Habitat: Maclean (Clarence Eiver), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Ey 3152, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag with type of 

 brevicornis. head and a fore wing with slide tyjie of Sipni ptmra bcfiliurnti. 



PAKECTROMOIliELLA new genus. 



Female: — In my table of genera runs to Ectroiiuiidex from which it differs in having 

 the postmarginal vein much shorter than the stignuil and the hind tibial simrs single. 



1. PARECTROMOIDELLA THACKERAYI now species. 



Female: — Length, l.lll nun. 



Dark metallic purjile. the prothorax except apex of neck and caudal margin dorsad, 

 the head and the scutellum, orange yellow, the face slightly wiished with purple. Legs con- 

 colorous except middle femur, a ring at base of caudal tibiie a little out from knee and the 

 tarsi which are silvery white. Cephalic tibia^ brownish. A small elliptical purjilish S|iot on 

 scutellimi mesad at about middle. AxilUe orange caudo-laterad, with a distinct carina between 

 them. Fore wings hyaline but with a broad subquadrate smoky cross strijie from about distal 

 third of submarginal vein to apex of postmarginal (broken centr.-illy by an eliijitical hyaline 

 area against the venation — submarginal and marginal veins — and distad innnediately followed 

 by a naked hyaline cross-band about a third of its width). Distad rest of fore wing lightly 

 dusky and more finely ciliated. Hairless line of fore wing closed at both ends, jjroximad of it 

 about eight lines of cilia. Venation black, the marginal \ein about five times longer than wide, 

 slightly longer than the stignuil which is aliont twice the length of the jiostnuirgiual. Fnscous 

 stripe of fore wing proxiniad coterminous with the discal ciliation. Scape long, slender, distad 

 a little dilated ventrad (apex), distinctly longer than the club which is about half the length of 

 the funicle and ovate, not much enlarged; jiedicel slender. t»o and a half times longer than 

 wide at apex, distinctly longer than funicle 1 which is a little the longest, sonu-what longer 

 than wide; funicle 6 a little wider than long. Scape serrate along the dorsal edge. Frons 

 moderately narrow, convex, not prominent but the facial impression de<'p. Lateral ocelli not 

 quite their own diameters from the eyes. Cheeks luit half the length of the eyes. Mandibles 

 slender, with equal, acute teeth. Scutellum with scatti-red black hair (a ]iair of long ones near 

 apex), the scutum with short greyish puliesceni'e. P.ody s.-.-ily. .Vbdomeu pointed. Thorax with 

 numerous minute setigerous pin-punctures. Promjtvun transverse-linear, inverse V-shaped (dorsal 

 aspect). Propodeum laterad with rather dense silvery |ndiescence. the spirac-le minute. 

 Scutellum not quite reaching the abdomen.
