Dark aeneous coppery, the head and propodeum metallic green, the wings hyaline, 

 pronotum except the caudal margin broadly, legs and abdomen deep golden yellow, the tegulaa, 

 cephalic two pairs of coxae and all femora pale yellow. Scape orange yellow, dusky along dorsal 

 edge. Base of abdomen centrally ventrad, base and the lateral margins dorsad for about proxi- 

 mal third, a dot at lateral margin dorsad just distad of end of the marginal stripe, tip of abdomen 

 and of ovipositor valves and a large frustum- shaped marking dorsad centrally a little distad 

 of the pair of marginal dots blackish metallic green (dark metallic green at base of abdomen 

 dorsad). Postmarginal vein somewhat over twice the length of the stigmal, the latter about 

 a fifth the length of the marginal. Propodeum noncarinate, somewhat more finely punctate 

 than the rest of the thorax. Mandibles 6-dentate. Antennae with funicles 1-3 subequal, elongate 

 (nearly thrice longer than wide), 4 somewhat shorter; club not quite as long as funicle 3. 

 Like the other species. Mesal margin of the marginal stripe of abdomen scalloped. In all 

 the species of the genus, the parapsidal furrows curve off laterad not reaching the pronotum. 



From one female caught by sweeping forest in swamp, May 14, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



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



Type: No. HyS696, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and

1. DIGLYPHOMORPHOMYIA NIGRISCUTELLUM Girault. 



One female, type habitat, May 29, 1913. There were seven teeth in the mandibles in 

 this specimen. In antea, line 2 of the description, insert quite after not; line 3, very obscure

 similar punctures on the lemon yellow caudal part of scutum. The club terminates in a long,

1. ALOPHOMORPHELLA ILLUSTRIS Girault. 



The fore wings bear a faint sooty round spot a little caudad of the middle of the blade,

 nearly to margin on each side and is on proximal fourth. Legs white. Scape pale yellow; 

 funicle dusky yellow, club dusky black. Funicle joints globular yet a little longer than wide, 

 a little smaller distad, 1 subequal in length to the pedicel. Mandibles 5-dentate. Club with a 

 distinct terminal spine. Parapsidal furrows delicate yet easily found, curving off laterad, 

 not reaching pronotum by some distance; a setigerous, minute puncture just mesad of distal 

 end of each furrow, the latter running to the axilla before the latter 's mesal apex. Grooves of
