AUSTBALIAN HYMENOPTEBA CHALCIDOIDEA, 1T.—GIBAVLT. 297 



Tribe HEMIPTAESENINI. 



Genus NECBEMNOMYIA Girault. 



The seutellum is simple, the form slender, the axillae much advanced. Type of genotype 

 re-examined. 



1. NECREMNOMYIA VARISCUTUM new species. 



Female: — Differs from saint pierrei in the following characters only: The femora are 

 dusky only about their middles, all white in cephalic legs; the funicle joints are all longer than 

 wide, not subglobular; and the raised polygonal sculpture of the scutum is finer and disappears 

 broadly along the meson and cephalad, the surface opaque. In the genotype, this sculpture is 

 uniform and distinct. In both species the postmarginal vein is a little longer than the short 

 stigmal. Casually, the club appears 2- jointed. 



From one female taken in jungle, November, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Harvey's Creek (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2716, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag. 



Genus SYMPIESONECEEMNUS Girault. 



This genus is exactly similar to Neocremnomyia except that the form is more robust, 

 the median carina of propodeum paired, the caudal tibial spur stout, the mandibles with 

 several more teeth and the flagellum is subcompressed, the distal two funicle joints with short 

 petioles. The venation is identical. Genotype re-examined (type). 



1. SYMPIESONECREMNUS ffiNELLA new species of A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Length, 1.40 mm. 



Like boasi Girault but smaller, the sculpture finer, the propodeum smooth and with a 

 single median carina; abdomen slenderer; tibiae, tarsi and posterior femora yellow, the first 

 two pairs of femora brownish; scape and pedicel fuscous, the flagellum dark yellow-brown, 

 funicle joints subequal; otherwise the same or nearly. 



Prom one female taken sweeping jungle along a road, February 23, 1912 (A.A.G.). 



Habitat: Bossville, Cooktown, 



Type: No. Hy2717, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and 

 hind legs on a slide. 



The club appears 2-jointed but the transverse constriction at about distal third is not 

 articulated (A. A. Girault). 



Genus ASCOTOLINX Girault. 



Removed from the Elachertini. Seutellum with no cross-groove before apex but the 

 lateral grooves join around the apical margin. The axillae are advanced, the parapsidal 

 furrows only cephalad, obscure. Carinae of propodeum very distinct, the lateral ones broadly 

 curved. Pronotum transverse quadrate. Postmarginal and stigmal veins rather short, the 

 marginal over five times the length of stigmal. Axillae advanced a third the way up the 

 scutum. Type of genotype re-examined. 



1. ASCOTOLINX FUNERALIS Girault. 



Length, 1.63 mm. Abdominal segments except 2, finely scaly except eaudad on each. 

 Club with a terminal seta. Scape slender. The type was captured May 8, 1913 and is on a 

 tag, the head and cephalic legs on a slide.
