stigmal vein, representing a radial branch; also a dark line forms 
a long continuation of the median vein, and another lies between 
this latter and the radial line. Parapsidal furrows deep and distinct. 
Scape moderately long; the pedicel short; 1st funicle joint twice 
as long as pedicel; 2nd distinctly shorter than 1st; the others very 
slightly decreasing in length, but longer than wide; the last joint 
nearly as long as 1st funicle joint. Of the form, habitus, and general 
structure of augustus. 
Hab.: North Queensland (Babinda, near Cairns). Described 
from one $ caught by sweeping in heart of jungle, 10th February, 
1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Type: ad on a tag, antennae and wings on a slide. 
Genus Seelio Latreille. 
1. Scelio varıipunctatus sp. noV. 
Q Length, 4.10 mm. 
Black; the antennae and legs concolorous; the trochanters 
and base of femora, yellow; the tibiae a little suffused with reddish. 
Head transverse; no wider than the thorax; occiput concave; 
eyes large, bare; ocelli rather wide apart, the lateral ones close 
to the eye margins; lower portion of face rugulose, the centre 
smooth, the vertex with large scattered, umbilicate punctures, and 
also scattered pin-punctures. Pronotum slightly visible on the side. 
Scutum and scutellum large, with punctures as on the vertex of 
the head, the punctures rather denser on the scutellum. Metanotum 
and first two abdominal segments longitudinally rugulose, the 
remaining segments longitudinally striate, and with scattered pin- 
punctures. Abdomen sessile; somewhat longer than rest of body; 
3rd and 4th segments the longest, the 1st somewhat wider than 
long. Metanotum densely punctate laterad, and with a patch of 
whitish pubescence. Occiput of head densely punctate. All punc- 
tures setigerous. Parapsidal furrows not indicated. Forewings 
darkly infuscated, and with a light narrow, longitudinal stripe 
from near base to towards apex; venation blackish; the stigmal 
vein much curved cauded near its base, its apical half almost 
perpendicular; a stigmal spot involves apex of submarginal, and 
base of stigmal vein. Pedicel slender; the 1st funicle joint distinctly 
longer, narrowed at base; 2nd barely one-half length of 1st, the 
remaining joints forming a not well defined club, of which the 
3rd joint is largest.
