194 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



3. RHICNOPELTELLA MULTIFASCIATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.35 mm. 



Dark coppery green, the wings hyaline, the legs pale golden yellow except the coxae; 

 antennae concolorous with legs except scape above and the entire pedicel which are metallic 

 gTeen. Thus very much like flavipes hinotata except the darker general color and that the 

 entire abdomen is dull golden yellow crossed by five coppery green stripes, the first at base 

 and longest (caudo-cephalad), the fifth near apex and more or less interrupted at the meson. 

 Prepeetus dull yellow. Otherwise the same. Both are very finely densely punctate. Funicles 

 1 and 2 subequal in length, 2 wider, both like ring-joints; funicle 3 distinctly shorter than the 

 pedicel, much wider than long, thrice or more longer than 2. 



From one female caught January 23, 1913 in forest. 



Habitat: Townsville, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2500, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head on a 

 slide. 



4. (ELACHERTETRASTICHUS) RHICNOPELTELLA iENEIPES (Girault). 



Compared with type of immaculatipennis. 



Differs from the genotype in having cephalic tibiae wholly yellowish white, not concolorous 

 just below knee for some distance. Club not shortened or enlarged and obliquely truncate as 

 in flavipes but as in the genotype, i.e., much longer than wide, distinctly longer than the 

 funicle. There are four " ring-joints." Antennae brown, scape and pedicel black or very 

 dark metallic. Joint 7 of antennae nearly a half shorter than 8. 



5. (ELACHERTETRASTICHUS) RHICNOPELTELLA HEGELI new name. 3 



Elacliertetrastichus purpureus Cirault. 



A distinct species, the four ring-joints of the antennae abruptly separated from the two 

 subequal funicle joints. Club as in wneipes but no longer than the funicle. Spot on hind 

 tibia very obscure. 



6. RHICNOPELTELLA NUBILIPENNIS new species. 



/•'< male: — Length, 1.75 mm. 



Dark metallic green, the wings lightly infuscated from bend of submarginal vein distad 

 to apex; legs golden yellow except coxae and the hind femur. Antennae fuscous, the scape 

 beneath pale. Club not enlarged, conic-ovate, not quite as long as the funicle (including ring- 

 joints). Three distinct subequal ring-joints, the fourth joint after pedicel also ring-like but 

 distinctly larger than the three preceding, about a third the length of the next joint; last 

 two joints of funicle (the two distinct funicle joints) unequal, the first quadrate, a little over 

 half the length of the pedicel, the distal a little wider than long, barely shorter than the 

 preceding. Pedicel elongate. Abdomen conic-ovate. Postmarginal vein distinct, shorter than 

 the stigmal which is a little over half the length of the marginal. Same as other species in 

 sculpture and allied with filia. 



From many females from the National Museum, Victoria. 



Habitat : Melbourne, Victoria. 



Types: In the National Museum, Melbourne, four females on a card, a head on a slide. 



The dorsal and ventral margins of cephalic femur more or less dusky. From galls on 

 gum, March.
