220 MEiWIES OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



the club solid or single, the pedicel and second funicle joint elongate, the scape very long, 

 dilated slightly toward tip. Scutellum terminating in a bidentate plate. Abdomen conic-ovate, 

 its body longer than the head and thorax combined, as in Epistenia but noncarinated and the 

 last segment is produced into a slender stylus -nhieh is nearly as long as the body of the 

 abdomen; also, the valves of the ovipositor are longly exserted, much beyond the stylus above 

 them. Hind eoxaj snollen, nearly as long as the femora, strongly tiattened inwardly, the 

 enlarged femora practically unarmed beneath. Front femora swollen but simi)le. Propodeum 

 short, the spiracle reniform, no median carina, the posterior margins of each wing or callus, 

 hairy. Segments 2 and fi of abdomen longest. Postmarginal vein elongate, subequal to 

 marginal, the stigmal short. 



Metallic purplish, the fore wings irregularly stained; the legs blood red except the 

 concolorous cosaj. Antenna; black or nearly, the first funicle joint short, a little wider than 

 long, the second abruptly much longer, the fiftli subequal to the club; 7 and 8 subequal, 

 longer than wide, shortest after 1 but distinctly longer than it. Thorax sluigrceucd-|)unctate, 

 also the head; a long, triangular mesal portion of each parapside, finely transversely striated. 

 Ocelli in an equilateral triangle. Eyes naked. Joints 2-4 of funicle slightly reddish. Knees 

 and tibife more or less metallic. 



Described from one female, minutien-mounted. recei\ed from the Xatioual Aluseum, 

 ilelbourne, and labelled " 4f) " and " Gippld. 29G. " ' 



Habitat: West Australia. 



Type: In the National Museum. Melbourne, the above specimen, the antenna) on a slide. 



This genus apjiarentiy diifers from Ai/ainciion Haliday in bearing a stylate abdomen 

 and the exserted ovipositor; also in lacking the ring-joint; the club is solid. Differs from 

 Calosetroides in bearing one more antennal joint, a stylate abdomen and so forth. The first 

 fnnicle joint is often ring-like. 



2. AGAMERIONELLA BREVISTYLUS new species. 

 Female: — Lengtli. T.oO mm., excluding stylus and tlio ovipositor whicli is exserted for a 

 little over a third the length of the abdomen. 



Brilliant metallic purple, the legs (except coxai aud liind femur) Idood red; also joints 

 2() of the funicle. Front femora swollen, deeply excised beneath at tip. Plate at apex 

 of scutellum entire. Stylus short, about a fourth the length of the abdomen. Fore wings 

 with a large blotch appended from the stigmal vein and an oblique cross dash caudad from 

 the bend of the subniai"ginal vein, separated from an oblique, longitudinal dash caudad; 

 postmarginal vein somewhat shorter than the marginal, elongate. Head and thorax (excluding 

 ]iropodeum) uniformly sculptured. First funicle joint wider, the distal two longer, than in 

 loe-in.tiformis. Otherwise agreeing with the named species. 



Described from one female minuticninoiinted, received from the Xatioual Museum at 

 McllMiurne and labelled "50. Cunbower. ' ' 

 Habitat: Victoria? 



Type: In the National Museum, Melliiiunie, tlie above specimen and a slide with the 

 antennie. 



3. AGAMERIONELLA SANGUINIPES new species. 

 Female: — Lengtli, T.L'ii udti., exi'luding stylus aud exserted portions of ovipositor. 



Almost exactly similar to liiciislifdrmis but distinctly smaller and the valves of the 

 ovipositor are exserted for a length distinctly less than that of the abdomen (in the other 

 Kpecies the exserted portion is a little longer than the abdomen) ; the stylus is also shorter but 

 lunger in proportion to the length of the exserted jiortion of the valves of the ovipositor. 

 Tlie spots at apex of stigmal and bend of subnuirginal veins are longer and more distinct
