;206 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



the scutellum and postscutellum metallic cyaneus. Scutum with four long, black bristles, one 

 in each corner, the scutellum with two, one on each side near lateral margin about center from 

 base. Thorax coarsely scaly reticulate. Fore wings hyaline but with a distinct, broad, blackish 

 ■stripe across from a little over distal third of marginal vein and the whole of the proximal 

 •side of the stigmal. Propodeum glabrous, washed with metallic blue, without carina?. Abdomen 

 with a short yellow petiole, slender, acute at apex, somewhat longer than the thorax. Post- 

 marginal vein slightly shorter than the stigmal. Marginal fringes of fore wing where longest 

 a little less than a fourth the greatest wing width. Marginal vein along cephalic margin 

 with long, slender bristles. Cheeks short but distinct. Flagellum tapering, the funicle joints 

 stout, somewhat longer than wide, 2 a little longer than 1 ; terminal spine distinct, rather long. 

 Pedicel a little shorter than funicle 1. Axillae not advanced. Caudal marginal cilia of hind 

 wing somewhat shorter than the greatest width of the blade yet moderate in length. Fore 

 wings with about 20, caudal wings with about 6 lines of discal cilia where widest. Club joints 

 1 and 2 each twice longer than wide, longest of the flagellum. 



From one female captured by sweeping in jungle, May 30, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2524, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 



7. ACHRYSOCHARELLA GLABRISCUTELLUM new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. 



Like Achrysocharis clariscutellum occidenialis but larger and the antennas and wings as 

 dn the typical form of that variety. Venation yellow; the stigmal vein black and with a 

 fuscous dash from its apex. Pedicel very long, as long as the funicle. Agrees in every 

 particular with clarisciitellum clarisciitellum except the sculpture of the scutellum and the 

 generic character. Scutum finely punctate. Compared with type of clariscutellum clarisciitellum 

 whose antenna? bear but one ring-joint. Legs white except coxa?. Probably a variety of 

 ■ clariscutellum (if so that species belongs here). 



From one female caught in forest, June, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Burnett Heads, Southern Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2525, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



8. ACHRYSOCHARELLA VARICLAVA new species. 



Female: — Length, 0.80 mm. 



Differing from dubia in the following particulars only: The distal two club joints are 

 black (the distal joint in dubia), the posterior wings are narrower, with only five lines of 

 discal cilia where widest (seven in dubia) and the fore wings are more slender, about 20 lines 

 of cilia where widest (about 26 in dubia). Also the caudal coxa? are entirely concolorous and 

 the caudal femur bears a distinct blackish blotch dorsad at proximal third. Compared with 

 type of dubia. 



From one female caught in forest, May 12, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Chindera, New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy2526, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



Chrijsocharella Cfnea differs from Chrysocharella consobrinus in having the first two pairs 

 of tibiuri yellowish white, the scape blackish only at tip and otherwise as described. Cephalic 

 tibia? yellow in consobrinus, the middle tibia? so at distal half. In its original description, 

 line 4, more yellowish should read less yellowish. The species oenea differs from Achrysocharis 

 ctripes in that the latter has the scape all concolorous. the antenna? distinctly less compact, 

 both funicle joints not wider than long, the first smaller than the second as in oenea; the 

 •stigmal vein in atripes is distinctly shorter, subsessile, the postmarginal barely developed; the
