Tribe RAPHITELINI. 

 Cents NASONIA Girault and Sanders. 



1- NASONIA BREVICORNIS Girault and Sanders. 



The footnote on page 307 of Part VI (these Memoirs, Vol. II, p. 307) refers to this 

 species and not to Muscidifiirax raptor Girault and Sanders which I have not seen from Australia. 

 1 took a specimen of t>n vicornis from a window of a woobhouse at Brisbane, Queensland. 

 October 3, 191] and Mr. Edmund Jarvis, Assistant Government Entomologist, sent me six 

 females reared from dipterous pupae at Longreach and Aramac, Queensland, in October, 1913. 

 The host was tin- sheep fly maggot. The antennas of brevicornis are inserted slightly above 

 the ventral ends of the eyes. The spiracular sulcus is distinct, just laterad of the lateral 

 ■carina. A common species.
