364 ItElIOIES OF TEE QFEENSLAXD ILUSEVM. 



2. ATOPOSOMA ATOPOSOMOIDES new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. 



Ilouey yellow, the fore wings with a small, dusky substignial spot. The following metallic 

 green markings: Three cross-stripes on face, the dorsal two broken, the ventral one complete, 

 passing under the e_yes over to the occiput and along the latero-occipital margin of eye for over 

 half way then looping around to ventral apex of occiput; a reciprocal loop on each side of 

 meson of occiput, dorsal half; oeellar area (connected narrowly with the eyes along its 

 cephalic margin) ; dorsal edge of scape except at each end; dorsal pedicel except at tip; a 

 median and dorso-lateral line down pronotum, the median stripe thickened, cuneate, the others 

 narrow; scutum except lateral margins which are convex yellow lines; parapsides; a narrow 

 line down propleurum and down mesopleurum from pronotum to about fore wings; scutellum 

 between the grooves; propodeum ; a bullet-shaped marking from cephalic end of each axilla 

 centrally; disk of the postscutellum; side of cephalic co.xa; at base; most of caudal coxa?; 

 tip of ovipositor and a minute dot at apex of abdomen dorsad; six cross-stripes on abdomen, 

 the first three about in the middle of proximal half, joined along the meson, the third stoutest, 

 the first joined along the meson to base of abdomen, each curved a little on each side; stripes 

 4 and 5 at about proximal two thirds, :j joined along the meson to 4 and to 6, the latter 

 a little before tip; these stripes block out five (a total of 10) transverse marginal spots of 

 yellow of which the first four are along the proximal half, the first and fourth large, ovate, 

 li and 3 very much smaller. y> subequal to 4 and just proximad of stripe 6. Middle of hind 

 femur dusky black; a narrow, dusky band a short distance ventrad of caudal knees and a h'ss 

 distinct one before tip: middle femur and tlie middle tibia just below knee, faintly dusky; 

 distal tarsal joints jet. 



Habitat: Capeville (Peutland), Queensland. Forest, September 29. iyl4. 



Type: No. Tly3447, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female in alcohol with type 

 )tii<iuitatipes. 



CiExrs OROTIUSKLLA Uirault. 



1. GROTIUSELLA MULTIGUTTATA new species. 

 Female: — Length, 1.20 mm. 



Dark metallic blue-green, the wings hyaline (stigmal knob black), the legs (except 

 most of each coxa, caudal femora and caudal tibiEB, the latter two dusky) and head pale 

 yellow. Oeellar area, a line of three spots down the face along the eyes and a cross-stripe 

 on face below the antennae and ending at ventral end of eyes, dark metallic blue. The 

 following pale golden yellow body markings: On abdomen along each margin from base 

 (dorso-laterad), five pairs of dots (a total of ten on eacli margin), the first pair smallest, the 

 mesal of the last two pairs abruptly larger, transverse spots; eaudad of these pairs, a round spot 

 (between the last pair and apex) in a line longitudinally with the mesal ones of the pairs; 

 caudal margin of pronotum broadly, parapsidal furrows (a complete yellow line along their 

 jiositions but broken near cephalic end), lateral and cephalic margins of scutellum and lateral 

 margins of postscutellum. Scape white, broadly black at tij^; rest of antenna black. Occiput 

 metallic. The mesal of the fourth pairs of marginal dots of abdomen is much wider than 

 long and the two (each side's) are barely separated at the meson; those of the fifth pairs 

 are distinctly, more widely separated. A small yellow spot on propleurum. Panicle 1 largest, 

 slightly longer than wide. The distal two dots on abdomen are round, one on each side of meson. 



Habitat: Capeville (^Peutland), Queensland. Forest, September 8, J 914. 



Type: No. HyS44S. Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female in alcohol with type 

 Atopoiioma unguttatipes.
