308 MEMO I US OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



From many female specimens in the Queensland Museum collections labelled " Beared! 

 from gall No. 26. emerged May, 1914, H. Hacker." 



Habitat: Brisbane. Queensland. 



Types : No. Hy 2757, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, three females on a tag. 



The male is the same but the cheeks below the eyes are black and the entire thorax except 

 lateral margin of scutum and scutellum narrowly, caudal margin of pronotum and lateral margin 

 of parapsides; abdomen black except meson of venter and the yellow stripe at base above. 



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



Differs from Ccelocybelloides Girault in having the axilla? distinctly separated, the 

 marginal vein longer (about five times its own width, about half the length of the sub- 

 marginal or somewhat less), the ring-joints quadrate or longer than wide and the abdomen less 

 flattened. The axillae mesad meet the caudal end of each parapsidal furrow. Wings large. 

 Marginal vein linear. 



1. PERILAMPELLA FLAMMEITHORAX new species. 2 



Female: — Length, 4 mm. 



Differs from Epiperilampus Girault in having the postmarginal vein distinctly longer 

 than the stigmal and the marginal vein longer, over a third the length of the submarginal. With 

 the habitus of Perilampoides. Flaming red, the propodeum, abdomen and hind coxa? jet black, 

 also the scape above and the funicle and club. Fore wings (also hind wings) deep smoky 

 brown, clearer proximad of the bend of the submarginal vein. Axilla? distinctly separated 

 inwardly but not far apart (within the apex of parapsidal furrows). Marginal vein linear, 

 about six times longer than wide (in Epiperilampus not thrice and it is thickened). Mandibles 

 strong, bidentate, the second tooth broad, semicircularly emarginate along apex. First ring- 

 joint a little longer than wide, the second large but wider than long; six funicle joints, the first 

 longest, the distal ones plainly wider than long, 1 longer than wide; pedicel as long as funicle 1; 

 club with an apparent fourth joint. 



From two females from the collections of the National Museum of Victoria, labelled 

 " .19. Rose Bay. N.S.W. Froggatt. 15-10-91." 



Habitat: New South Wales. 



Types: in the National Museum, Melbourne, the above specimens on separate tags, a 

 head on a slide. 



EUPER1LAMPOIDES new genus. 



Female: — Apparently differs from Euperilampus Walker in having the scutellum long 

 and projecting over the abdomen but not forming a long, stout spine, merely triangular and 

 obtusely pointed at apex, there armed with a short entire plate and reaching not half way to 

 apex of the abdomen. Also, the antenna? are 13-jointed with one ring-joint, the scape rather 

 greatly flattened and curved. Otherwise as in Perilampus. The margins of the flat scape are 

 parallel yet curved. 



1. EUPERILAMPOIDES SCUTELLATUS new species. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 3.70 mm. 



Black with slight metallic reflections, the wings hyaline, the postmarginal vein longer 

 than the marginal which is somewhat longer than the stigmal. Antenna* orange yellow, the 

 scape, distal two joints and upper pedicel black, the latter much smaller than the funicle 



2 Mr. A. P. Dodd suggests, from seeing specimens in Mr. Froggatt's collection, that this is a species described by 

 the latter as a Cynips but the whole matter is too indefinite and I prefer to describe the species in its proper place 

 Mr. Froggatt can then establish his species. Mayr had already informed him, I understand, of its relationship. 

 Mistakes arc often excusable but uncorrected known ones should never be so.
