very much and finally found other forms whicli seem intermediate between the 

 two, the antennae reduced in number of joints and the marginal vein iengthened. 

 These genera are Australian. In several instances I have been considerably 

 puzzied in regard to which group certain species should be placed, notably in 

 the casa of an Aplieimus a Physcns and a ('oceoplaujus. 



Now Aphelinines frequently have the mesopleura entire, the antennae are 

 inserted below the middle of the face, the middle tibial spur is very frequently 

 long (but slender usually; small ones when occurring are matched by those of 

 Airhenophayus), the mandibles bi-or tridentate, the form short and compact, the 

 tarse usually 5-jointed (when 4-jointed again matched by ArrhenoplKiyus), the 

 wings frequently ornate and with an oblique, hairless line, ring-joints usually 

 absent, a variety of form occurs, they jump well and they are usually parasitic 

 upon coccids. These characters belong more to the Encyrtidae than to the 

 Eulophkhie and I should not see great objections to uniting them with the 

 encyrtid Puneostigmini, forming a separate subfamily of the Encyrtidae. 



In this connection I should notice a minute wingless insect belonging to 

 the present Apfialinini, captured in the jungle near Nelson, North Queensland 

 in November, which had antennae like those of Eretmocerus. It seemed to be a 

 male but through unfortunate circumstances was accidentally blown away just 

 as I was on the point of descubing it.

A new genus of Ophioneurine Trichogrammatidae from Java. 



Among some egg-parasites sent to me by Herr P. Van der Goot of 

 Java I found the following interesting form in the hymenopterous family Tricho- 

 grammatidae. It belongs to the tribe Ophioneurini. 



Latliromeromyia new genus. 



Female: — Like Lathromeris Foerster but the abdomen is not conical and 

 plainly longer than the thorax but short and obliquely truncate as in Vfevs, 

 no longer than the thorax and the marginal cilia of the fore wing are moderately 

 long, the longest about a third of the greatest wing width or somewhat less. 

 Also, the antennae bear two ring-Joints. Mandibles tridentate. Marginal vein not 

 much longer than the stigmal. Similar to Lathroweroidea Girault but lacking one 

 club Joint and the discal ciliation is less regulär. 



Male: — Not known. 



Type: The following species. 



1. Lat/ironieromyta perminnta new species. 



Female: — Length, 30 mm. 



Dusky black, suffused with yellowish, the fore wings distinctly but not 

 deeply infuscated, from base out to end of stigmal vein and from thence more 

 lightly so to apex. Hind wings narrow, with two distinct rows of discal cilia 

 along cephalic margin, the caudal marginal cilia much longer than the greatest 

 width of the blade but slightly shorter than the longest marginal cilia of the fore 

 wing, the latter with no oblique line of cilia from stigmal knob and bearing about 

 a dozen lines of ciliation which is in more or less regulär lines. Tunicle a little 

 less than half the length of the club whose distal Joint is longest, subequal to 

 the pedicel, the other three joints plainly wider than long. Tarsal joints of mo- 

 derate length. 



Described from two female specimens labelled „From eggs of Cicada sp.? 

 8. 9. 1913. On leaves of sugar cane." 



Habitat: Pasoeroean, Java. 



Types: The above specimens on a slide deposited in to the collections 

 of the Queensland Museum at Brisbane.
