joints; flagellum gently clavate; first funiele joint somewhat shorter than the second and 

 only a little longer than wide; 4-0 wider than long; club longer than two preceding joints 

 united; first two club joints subequal, third smaller. Wings hyaline; venation golden yellow; 

 marginal and postmarginal veins about subequal, each one third longer than the stigmal, 

 which is slightly curved. Thorax w r ith fine, polygonal reticulation, the reticulation in raised 

 lines. Parapsidal furrows faint but complete. Scutellum with an obscure, transverse groove 

 before apex. Propodeum rather short, broad, scaly, without a median carina but there is a 

 shallow lateral sulcus on each side of meson, running obliquely from the cephalic margin, the 

 lateral margin of each sulcus carinated and thus forming the lateral carina?; spiracle elliptical, 

 with a deep sulcus running obliquely from its caudal margin. Abdomen viewed from the 

 lateral aspect, straight above, convex beneath; viewed from the dorsal aspect, it is conic-ovate, 

 no longer than the thorax; petiole no longer than the hind coxae; second segment occupying 

 over one third the surface; third and fourth subequal, each about one half as long as the 

 second; fifth and sixth distinctly shorter than the fourth; eighth conical. Head no wider than 

 long, no wider than the thorax. Mandibles 3 and 4-dentate. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in jungle, June 7, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2793, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head 

 and a hind leg on a slide. 



SPHEGIPTEEOSEMELLA new genus. 



Eor diagnosis, see antea (these Memoirs, II), p. 324. The males have the legs more 

 uniformly fuscous. The types are five females on a card, a head, several antennae and hind legs- 

 on a slide. They were reared from bombycid cocoons, April 7, 1911. Peterosema unicolor 

 new species is the genotype. 



Genus EURYDINOTELLA Girault. 

 1. EURYDINOTELLA VIRIDICOXA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.30 mm. For rest of diagnosis, see antea (these Memoirs, II), 

 p. 319. 



Described from a female captured by sweeping in forest along the banks of Cape Eiver, 

 December 27, 1913. 



2. EURYDINOTELLA PUNCTATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.85 mm. 



Like prima Girault but the abdomen is not darker than the thorax; the coxa? are 

 concolorous; the pedicel is colored like the flagellum; the scape is golden yellow; the abdominal 

 petiole is short, much shorter than the hind coxa?; the third abdominal segment is slightly 

 shorter than the second and the postmarginal vein is twice as long as the stigmal and as 

 long as the marginal. At once differing from viridicoxa Girault in having a punctate propodeum. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping in forest and slight jungle, June 27, 

 1913 (A.A.G.). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2794, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head
