NEOCALOSOTER new genus of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 
Female :—Head not much excavated, the frons somewhat concave, the antennal scrobes 
distinct, the vertex rather thin. Eyes moderately large, bare; ocelli in an equilateral triangle, 
the lateral ones rather farther from the eye margins than from the median ocellus. Antenne 
inserted at the mouth border; 11-jointed, no ring-joint, the club 3-jointed; similar to the male 
antenne of the genus Scelio Latreille; scape not distinctly swollen nor very long; pedicel a 
little longer than first funicle joint, which is distinctly longer than wide; funicles 2-6 shortening 
all somewhat wider than long, the sixth distinctly so. Mandibles 4-dentate, the teeth small. 
Legs all normal; middle tarsi without strong teeth ventrad; posterior tibie with two apical 
spurs. Pronotum longer than the scutum; parapsidal furrows deep and distinct. Axille rather 
widely separated. Propodeum with many irregular faint cross-carine, also rather faint median 
and lateral carine. Seutellum with a delicate cross-suture before apex. Abdomen barely as 
long as the thorax; conic-ovate, the ovipositor exserted for a length equal to two thirds that of 
the abdomen, second segment deeply incised at meson of caudal margin, occupying over one 
third of the surface; caudal margins of remaining segments straight; third scarcely one fourth 
as long as second; fourth and fifth subequal, together as long as second. Wings perfect; 
marginal vein not much shorter than submarginal; stigmal vein short and curved; post- 
marginal barely as long as the stigmal. 
1. NEOCALOSOTER PULCHRIPENNIS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 3.25 mm., excluding the ovipositor. 
Black; most of lower face, propleura and cephalic margin of pronotum, venter of 
thorax more or less, basal two thirds of ovipositor and the antenne (except the scape), reddish 
brown; femora and tibiz somewhat suffused with brown; tarsi and antennal scape bright 
golden yellow; abdomen steel blue. Head (except lower portion of face), pronotum, scutum, 
scutellum (except apex) and second abdominal segment smooth and shining. Rest of abdomen, 
lower portion of face and apex of scutellum, very finely scaly. Fore wings hyaline, with an 
irregular smoky transverse band across wing at joining of marginal and submarginal veins 
and another at apex of marginal vein and involving the stigmal vein, the second band much 
the wider. 
Described from one female caught by Mr. F. P. Dodd in December, 1913. 
Habitat: Northern Queensland (Kuranda, near Cairns). 
Type: No. Hy 2898, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag, the head and a
