332 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



Dark metallic green, the coxae concolorous; rest of legs, abdominal petiole and antennal 

 scape golden yellow ; rest of antennae black. Wings hyaline, the venation golden yellow. Thorax 

 (including the propodeum) punctate. Abdomen short, convex above and beneath; the third 

 segment viewed from the side, rising abruptly from the second. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping in forest, November, 1912 (A. A. Girault). 



Habitat: Northern Queensland (Gordonvale near Cairns). 



Type : No. Hy 2797, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag. 



2. POLYCYSTELLA PETIOLATA new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Length, 2 mm. 



Like abdominalis but the lateral carinae on the propodeum are distinct not delicate; 

 there is a distinct sulcus running obliquely from the caudal margin of the spiracle; the 

 postmarginal vein is no longer than the marginal; the abdominal petiole is metallic; and the 

 fourth segment occupies one half of the surface and is as long as the second and third combined 

 (scarcely longer than the third and not equal to one third of the surface in abdominalis). 

 Mandibles not seen; funicle joints subquadrate. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping in forest August 4, 1913 (A. A. Girault). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy279S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag. 



EURYDINOTOMOBPHA new genus. 

 For diagnosis, see antea, p. 320. 



1. EURYDINOTOMORPHA PAX new species. 



A female of this species was caught by sweeping in jungle, Gordonvale, near Cairns, 

 July 31, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). " The legs in this specimen are wholly golden yellow, the coxae 

 suffused with metallic. In the type, the femora and tibia) are darker, but not much darker 

 than the tarsi. The median carina of propodeum, in both specimens, is one third complete 

 from base." (A. P. Dodd.) 



The pubescence is quite normal. 



2. EURYDINOTOMORPHA GRANDIS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 4 mm. 



Dark metallic brassy green; the abdomen somewhat brownish; coxae concolorous; femora 

 and antennal scape and pedicel bright brownish yellow; tibiae and tarsi (except apical joint) 

 white. Wings hyaline, the venation dark. Otherwise like the genotype but the joints of the 

 flagellum are longer and the propodeum has a short neck and lacks the abbreviated median 

 carina. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping in jungle, November 15, 1913 (A. P. 

 Dodd). 



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



Type : No. Hy ?799, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head 

 and hind legs on a slide. 



3. EURYDINOTOMORPHA BASALIS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 4.15 mm. 



Very similar indeed to grandis but differing in that the abdomen ventrad is reddish 

 brown (in grandis the middle of the abdomen rather broadly — nearly a third of the surface — 

 dorsad is reddish) and the femora and tibiae are uniformly rich reddish brown (the tibiae 

 are white in grandis) ; rest of abdomen dark metallic blue-green. The abdomen dorsad is
