22 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
8. ANASTATUS BLATTIDIFURAX new species 
Female :—Length, 3 mm. 
Dark metallic blue, the abdomen with a white band at apex of proximal fourth; tip 
of valves of ovipositor white, the valves not exserted. Legs and antennew concolorous; antenne 
13-jointed with one ring-joint which is a little wider than long; funicle 1 subequal to 2 and 3 
and longest, 7 a little wider than long, less than half the length of 1 which is much longer 
than the pedicel. Hind tibiz with but one spur, the middle tibiw with black teeth, the front 
femur somewhat swollen. Fore wings embrowned slightly at immediate base and distinctly 
from the bend of submarginal vein to apex, the infuscation interrupted by a rather narrow 
white curved transyerse stripe from about a little distad of the middle of the marginal vein 
and faded around apex. Thorax very finely scaly. Postmarginal vein much longer than the 
stigmal. Cephalic half of mesopleurum hairy. 
Male:—A third smaller and the tibiw of cephalic legs are pale. The mesopleura bear 
a femoral furrow, the wings are hyaline, the scutum convex and with complete parapsidal 
furrows. Antenne thick, cylindrical, 11-jointed, one transverse-linear ring-joint, the club 
solid, the first funicle joint a little longer than wide, as long as the scape without its bulla, 
the scape short. : 
Described from four males, twelve females labelled ‘‘13. Bred from ootheca of cock- 
roach from Queensland (on banana). F. P. Spry. 27-1-05.’’ 
Habitat: Queensland. 
Types: No. Hy 2869, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one male, three females on a tag. 
Also four females reared from cockroach eggs in the jungle, Gordonvale, October, 1913 
(A. P. Dodd) and one female, Stradbroke Island, 5-12-1913 (H. Hacker). 
This species is closely allied with pipunculi Perkins but the very shortly projecting part 
of the ovipositor is pure white, the cross-band of the fore wing appears to be distinctly 
narrower, the face and scutum do not bear conspicuous white pubescence, there is only one hind 
tibial spur, the fore wing is embrowned under the proximal half of submarginal vein, clear 
from margin to margin under distal half and the antenne appear different, since funicle 1 is 
subequal to 2 and 3 (in pipunculi as figured 1 is plainly longer than 2, the latter a little longer 
than 3). The host is also different. 
9. ANASTATUS INSULARIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.80 mm., excluding extruded portion of ovipositor which is about a 
third the length of the abdomen. , 
Dark metallic purple, the wings a little yellowish, the legs concolorous except tarsi, 
middle tibie except a dusky band below knee and distal half of other tibia which together 
with a band round abdomen just out from base, the pedicel and first two funicle joints, are white. 
Extruded valves of ovipositor black. Funicle 1 quadrate, small, 2 longest, a little longer than 
the pedicel, 3 subequal to pedicel, 8 subquadrate, large. Scape obclavate. Hind tibie with 
two spurs, one very short. Thorax with obscure, fine scaliness; caudal half or more of scutum 
glabreus. Teeth on middle tibize white. Fore wings rather slender, the discal cilia very fine 
and dense; stigmal vein much shorter than the postmarginal, the marginal vein very long, 
longer than submarginal. Abdomen scaly. Funicle 2 nearly twice longer than wide. 
From one female caught in forest, March 12, 1912. 
Habitat: Thursday Island, Torres Strait. 
Type: No. Hy 2870, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head on a slide. 
Also, a female from Cooktown, Queensland, in March. 
10. ANASTATUS TRICOLOR new species. 
Female :—Length, 3 mm., exclusive of ovipositor which is extruded for a length nearly 
equal to two thirds that of the abdomen.
