 .ioilits, the first the longest but yet only somewhat longer than broad; 2 and 3 subequal, a 

 little shorter, subglobose, as long as the pedicel but much larger; remaining two joints a little 

 wider than long. 



The male is the same but the abdomen is nearly all black, reddish beneath and very 

 small, ovate, its petiole longer. .Joints of funicle petiolate and clothed with long hairs, the 

 distal club joint and the petioles of the funicle yellowish. Scape black. A round brown spot

 reddish. 



Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. Reared from galls. 



Type: No. SySSSS, Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Now reduced to two females oii

This is a somewliat varialile siierics; the ii|.p('r apex of the eye may be margined with

 black <jn eacli side) and in tlic |iair iif median grooves on the propodeum there are three 

 fovea), the third (caudal) as long as the other two combined (in qucenslandensis the third 

 fovea is distinctly shorter than the other two combined). Also the sculpture on the projiodeum. 

 just laterad of the middle and caudo-latorad of the median grooves is finer in this species. 

 The nmbilicate punctures in all tlie forms are not confluent, the space between them .scaly 

 reticulate; also the axilla; are all lihuk, the margins of the eyes narrowly yellow. Data as 

 with quadriguttntu.i. 



The petiole is niucii longer than \\ide in /•,'. .rant hm lla and E. ii(Isonia lint in jifilntcli.s 

 it is somewhat shorter.
