296 MEMOIFS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



A female, forest, type locality, May 27, 1914 and another by sweeping forest on sand- 

 ridges near coast, Chindera, New South Wales, May 8, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). The scape is 

 white along proximal two thirds; mandibles 6-dentate. Coxaj metallic on proximal half, long; 

 the general color may be ameous green. The median carina of propodeum extends not quito 

 half way to apex from base. 



A. ASYMPIESIELLA NELSONENSIS GRACILIS new variety. 



Female: — Length, 3 mm. 



Exactly similar to the typical form, but very much smaller and dark metallic green; 

 the distal funiele joint is shorter, being only slightly longer than wide, while the proximal 

 club joint is barely longer than the distal (in the typical forms somewhat longer). The 

 mandibles 6-dentate in both forms, the two outer teeth largest, subequal. In both the coxae 

 are concolorous at base, the thorax reticulate-punctate, the propodeum showing reticulation 

 delicately, the postscutellum more distinctly. Antenna? with two ring-joints, the first short; 

 first three funiele joints distinctly compressed. Compared with types of typical form. 



From one female captured by sweeping among bushes, October 10, 1914 (G. F. Hill). 



Habitat: Port Darwin, Northern Territory. 



Type: No. Hy2?l3, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag. 



2. ASYMPIESIELLA LONGIVENTRIS new species. 

 PseudopTteliminus and Pseudophelimus longiventris, nomina nuda, in antea, pp. 286-287, 291. 

 Differs from nelsonensis in being more slender, the mandibles 7-dentate, the scape wholly 

 white. Length, 3 mm. The type was taken April 13. Compared with type of nelsonensis. 



3. ASYMPIESIELLA SUPERBUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 2.70 mm. 



Vertex of head thin. Antennae inserted below middle of face, 10-jointed, two ring-joints, 

 four funiele joints, two club joints. Marginal vein long, as long as submarginal, stigmal 

 vein moderately long, postmarginal two and a half times the length of stigmal, scarcely half 

 the length of the marginal. Scutum longer than pronotum, as long as wide; axillae advanced; 

 scutellum simple. Propodeum rugulose, without carinae. Abdomen sessile, conic-ovate, no 

 longer than head and thorax united, first segment longest, equal to nearly a third of surface. 

 The abdomen is shorter than in the genotype. Bright metallic green, the thorax coppery; 

 legs (except apical joint of tarsi) and basal half of antennal scape very pale straw yellow; 

 rest of antennae black. Wings hyaline. Scutum and scutellum with dense, scaly reticulation, 

 the reticulation in raised lines. Pedicel short, scarcely longer than wide, funiele 1 fully three 

 times as long as pedicel, second and third funiele joints subequal, each a fourth shorter 

 than 1, 4 somewhat shorter than 3, club a little longer than preceding joint. 



From two females caught by sweeping forest, August 5, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordon vale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2714, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag; head and a 

 hind leg on a slide. 



Antea, p. 288, line 20, specimen should be plural.
