2S4 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



5. PHILOTYPESIS IMMACULATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 3.80 mm., excluding ovipositor Avliieh is extruded for a length equal 

 to that of the body. 



Deep goldeu yellow, uumarked except the black median line of the tubular part of the 

 abdomen ; f unicle and club black ; f unicle 1 subequal to the pedicel, a little longer than wide, 

 the following segments but very little shorter. Mandibles with a weak, minute third tooth. 

 Segment '2 of abdomen longer than 3, its caudal niargin with a slight incision at meson. Allied 

 with angela. 



From one female caught by sweeping bushes, October 10, 1913 (G. F. Hill). 



Habitat : Port Darw in. Northern Territory. 



Type: Xo. HyS307, Queensland Museum, Urisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head 

 on a slide. 



The species agree with Ashmead 's diagnosis but in loiigicaiiihi it was noticed that the 

 long tubular segment of the abdomen is single and segment 7 ai)pareutly, segment 6 not 

 tubular and black along the meson only, the V-shaped black marking at base of segment 5. 

 Segment 7 is also black along the meson and is tumid toward tip, thus giving an ajipearance 

 of two segments at the tumid place but there is no articulation there, seemingly. 



PAKACULYHTIC'HUS new genus. 



Female: — In Ashmead 's table of genera (Ashmead, 1904) running to Colysticlnis Mayr 

 but the antennas are inserted in the middle of the face, the joints normal, the abdomen is 

 greatly compressed, seen from the side much convexed above, from dorsal aspect forming a 

 line or nearly, the valves of the ovipositor distinctly extruded but barely for more than a sixth 

 or seventh of the length of the abdomen which is longer than the rest of the body. Propodeum 

 very short at the meson. Mandibles tridentate. Parapsidal furrows delicate, curved laterad. 

 Postmargiual and stigmal veins well develojied the former distinctly the longer, only about 

 a fourth shorter than the marginal. Hiud tibial spur single, long and slender, as long as the 

 tirsl tarsal joint (only one hiud leg seen). 



1. PARACOLYSTICHUS COMPRESSIVENTRIS n,w species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. 



Dark reddish coppery, the sides of the abdomen dark asneous green, the wings hyaline; 

 tibiiB and tarsi pale yellow except the former dorsad. Antenna; wholl.y black, also the valves 

 of the ovipositor. Thorax finely reticulated. Scai>i> i-ylindrical, ]icdicol oval, somewhat longer 

 than any of the funicle joints all of which are a little wider than long and subequal. (.'lub 

 without a terminal spine, conic ovate, not nnu-h eiilavgcd. Abdomen s -ulptured like the thorax, 

 the segments not greatly lengthened, 2, 6 and 7 longest. 



Described from one female captured on a window in a torcst ilcariug. April. 1912. 



JIahiliit: Gordonvale (Cairns), (Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 3308, Queensland Museum, P.risbnne, the abri\r specimen on a tag, the 

 head and a liind leg on a Slide. 



2. PARACOLYSTICHUS AMPLIPENNIS n.w species. 



Fiiniih : — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Very similar to eompressivcntris Girault but a little larger, the scutellum bears scattered 

 thimble punctures (only one or two on eoinpressiveiitrii), the antennal joints are a little stouter, 

 the scape is yellow at proximal three fourths and the fore and hind w'ings are very much 

 broader, being the characteristic of the species. Thus, the fore wings bear about thirty lines
