264 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



1. CIRROSPILOPSIS NIGRIVARIEGATUS new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 1.05 mm. 



Deep orange yellow, the wings hyaline; proximal third of abdomen dorsad yellow-brown 

 except the margins, meson of venter of abdomen rather broadly same color, the abdomen, 

 metapleurnm and most of mesopleurum, propodeum, petiole, parapsidal furrows, cephalic margin 

 of scutum, neck of pronotum, occiput centrally and sutures between scutum and scutellum, jet 

 black. Face, pronotum and postscutellum lemon yellow. Legs and antennae yellowish brown, 

 the flagellum distinctly suffused with blackish. Club with a small terminal spine; funicle joints 

 subequal, a little longer than wide, stout; pedicel a little shorter than either funicle joint. 

 Mandibles 5-dentate. Postmarginal vein a little shorter than the stigmal. Thorax coarsely 

 scaly reticulate. Propodeum and petiole foveate-rugulose, the former nevertheless with a 

 distinct median carina. 



From one female captured by sweeping jungle along the Mulgrave Eiver, April, 12, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2653, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head and hind 

 tibia? on a slide. 



2. CIRROSPILOPSIS FUSCA (Girault). 



Removed from Pseudiglyphomyia. Type re-examined. See remarks under quinque- 

 fasciatus. 



3. CIRROSPILOPSIS QUINQUEFASCIATUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.38 mm. 



Dull honey yellow, the wings hyaline, the caudal margin of pronotum and the post- 

 scutellum lemon yellow; five cross-stripes on abdomen equally distant from base and apex; 

 cephalic margin of scutum and propodeum, median carina and neck of latter and a small 

 area just mesad of tegula, black. Center of occiput black and tip of ovipositor valves. 

 Propodeum with a distinct median carina, otherwise delicately rugulose. Funicle joints 

 subequal, oval, a little longer than the pedicel. Club as long as the funicle, with a short; 

 terminal spine. Mandibles 5-dentate. Thorax on each side of postscutellum lemon yellow. 

 Postmarginal vein somewhat shorter than the stigmal. 



From one female captured on sand-ridges, forest near coast, May 9, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Chindera (Tweed River), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy2654, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and a 

 caudal tibia on a slide. 



Differs from fusea in having distinct stripes on the abdomen and otherwise; fusca is 

 uniformly colored all over and the propodeum is honeycombed, the median carina obscure. 



Genus PSEUDIGLYPHELLA Girault. 



In the description of the genotype, antea, p. 255, line 9, postmarginal should read 

 submarginal. The parapsidal furrows are complete and deep and reach the scutellum mesad 

 of the axillae which are not much advanced. In the genotype, there are some golden yellow 

 markings on the head, notably a stripe across cephalic vertex, dorsal margin of eye narrowly; 

 two subquadrate metallic areas are blocked off on each side of dorsal face by the stripe 

 across the vertex; also on the dorsal face a narrow yellow stripe across from eye to eye and 

 a rather short, broad mesal stripe joining this with the cross-stripe of vertex. Inner teeth of 

 mandible minute. Marginal vein not twice the length of the rather long stigmal. 



Additional females in the type locality, forest, January, April and November. Antea, 

 table of genera, p. 271, line 27, bicarinate read noncarinate ; an read a very ; paired omitted.
