Australian Proctotrypoidea, with Descriptions of Forty-five new Species. 17 
2. Baryconus vulgaris Dodd, Memoirs of Queensland Museum, 
Vol. II, 1913, p. 336. 
‚ I have also reexamined the type of this species. The whole 
body is black, not noticeably marked with reddish or yellow, yet 
apparently slightly suffused with reddish on ventrad of thorax, 
and on first abdominal segment. The species has much narrower 
forewings than in those species related to splendidus, yet still 
moderately broad; the 2nd funicle joint is as wide as long, 3rd and 
4th wider than long; the posterior angles of the metanotum are 
spined, and only the first and part of second abdominal segments 
are striate. 
3. Baryconus venustus Dodd, Transactions Royal Society of 
South Australia, vol. XXXVII, 1913, p. 174. 
This species must fall as a synonym of bellus Dodd, since it 
is founded on an invalid character, the exsertion of the ovipositor. 
Of course, if the ovipositor were truly exserted, that is if the valves 
were exserted, the species would be valid. However I have never 
seen any Scelionid with a truly exserted ovipositor. 
4. Baryconus maculatus sp. nov. 
Q Length, 1.50 mm. 
Agreeing with the description of fasciatus Dodd but differing 
as follows: abdomen without cross-stripes but with a dark patch 
on each side of 2nd and 3rd segments caudad, and the extreme 
tip black; parapsidal furrows deep and distinct; antennal scape 
distinctly longer than next two joints combined; pedicel barely 
twice as long as wide; extreme apex of wing hyaline; otherwise 
nearly the same. Horn on basal segment distinct but blunt. Bands 
on wing very dark. Scutum and scutellum with very fine poly- 
gonal scaly sculpture. First funicle joint a little shorter and nar- 
rower than pedicel. Mandibles tridentate. 
Hab.: North Queensland (Nelson, near Cairns). Described 
{rom several 9s caught by sweeping in jungle, January, 1914 
(A. P. Dodd). 
Type: a@ on a tag, the head and forewings on a slide. 
5. Baryconus nigricaput sp. nov. 
& Length, 1.65 mm. 
Golden yellow; head black; basal half of scutellum, and the 
abdomen somewhat dusky; antennae black, the scape yellow. 
Thorax distinctly longer than wide; parapsidal furrows absent. 
Abdomen a little longer than head and thorax united; scarcely as 
wide as the thorax; fusiform; wholly longitudinally striate; 3rd 
segment somewhat the longest. Forewings just reaching apex of 
abdomen; broad; a little infuscated; marginal ciliam oderately 
long; discal cilia fine and dense; submarginal vein attaining costa 
about middle of wing; marginal vein one-half as long as the stigmal, 
which is rather short, very oblique, its apex a little curved caudad; 
postmarginal vein fully three times as long as the stigmal; basal 
vein rather distinct. Antennae 12-jointed; pedicel short and stout;
