stout, subequal to the two funicle joints which are one and a half times longer than wide but- 

 shorter than the rather long, proximal joint of the club. Abdomen eonic-ovate. Postmarginal 

 vein long and slender, longer than the moderate stigmal. If the constriction of the club is- 

 nonarticulated, the antennae are 6-jointed. Mandibular teeth spreading. 



Male: — Not known. 



Type: The following species. 



1. PAROMPHALE FLAVICORPUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 0.85 mm. 



Dull honey yellow, the wings hyaline, the abdomen with three distinct cross-stripes of 

 black, the first longest. Thorax reticulated, the lines not raised. Antennaa with scattered, 

 long, fine hairs. Marginal vein longer than the submarginal, the latter distinctly broken. 

 Propodeum with a faint median carina, fuscous. Tip of abdomen black. Fore wings with 

 about twenty-four lines of discal cilia where broadest. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping at the base of Pyramid Mountain, 

 forest, February 13, 1912. One antenna bore but a single funicle joint, the club correspondingly 

 longer but otherwise as described (A.A.G.). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 3460, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide. 



CLOSTEROMPHALE new genus of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Form slender. Antennas inserted below the middle of the face, 8-jointed, two 

 ring, four funicle joints, the club solid, not enlarged. Mandibles tridentate. Scutellum simple, 

 the parapsidal furrows complete. Marginal vein longer than the submarginal, the postmarginal 

 and stigmal veins of moderate length, the former longer ; marginal vein long ; wings infuscated. 

 Abdomen conic-ovate, longer than the rest of the body. Propodeum short at meson, with a weak 

 carina there, the surface reticulated. Hind tibial spur short, single. 



Type: The following species. 



1. CLOSTEROMPHALE BILINEATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.05 mm. 



Dark metallic green, the abdomen bronze coppery, the head spotted with coppery and 

 the scutum and scutellum with a distinct, rather broad coppery stripe down each side of meson 

 (from pronotum to apex of scutellum). Legs and antennae concolorous but funicle 3, knees, 

 a band around tibiaa just before tip, the tarsi and both ends of the scape, yellowish white. 

 Thorax densely scaly. Funicle joints subquadrate; club over half the length of the funicle, 

 the pedicel barely longer than the funicle joints taken separately; scape moderately long. 

 Fore wing with two conspicuous blotches of sooty, one from apex of stigmal vein, the other 

 from near base (proximal end) of the marginal, the distal blotch the larger, rounded, extending 

 nearly across the blade, the proximal one more elliptical, also extending nearly across, the 

 space between them suffused with sooty except just under the marginal vein. 



Male : — Not known. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in the jungle, December 2, 1913
