discally (about 25 lines), the marginal cilia short; dusky across triangularly from the base 
of the marginal vein. Proximal tarsal joint elongate. Funicle 3 longest of the flagellum, 
thrice longer than wide, 1, 2 and 3 subequal, each a little longer than the pedicel; both club 
joints longer than wide, a little shorter than funicle 3. Mandibles weakly tridentate. 
From one female taken May 2, 1914, by sweeping in jungle (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 2950, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with the 
type of Coccophagus thoreauini Girault. 
GeNus ASPIDIOTIPHAGUS Howard. 
1. ASPIDIOTIPHAGUS CITRINUS (Craw. ). 
One female from a window, Ingham, Queensland, February 17. 
‘* Female.—Length, 0.58 mm.; expanse, 1.16 mm.; greatest width of fore wing, 0.09 
mm. Antenne light yellow brown; eyes black, ocelli bright red; head yellow; occiput dark 
brown; pronotum dark brown; mesonotum yellow; metanotum yellow brown; abdomen brown; 
legs uniformly dusky yellow; wings with marginal vein dark fuscous, and a broad fuscous band 
extending directly across wing from marginal vein as a base. Spiracular hairs on preanal 
abdominal joint very long. Thorax somewhat wider than head or abdomen, these being sub- 
equal in width.’’ 
2. ASPIDIOTIPHAGUS AUSTRALIENSIS Girault. 
Length, 0.60 mm. The type is on a slide and was captured at 1,500 feet, May 29, 1913. 
GeNus ABLERUS Howard. 
1. ABLERUS SPECIOSUS Girault.* 
Length, 0.60 mm., excluding ovipositor. The type locality is Gordonvale. The parap- 
sides are probably white, rapidly fading after death. Funicle 1 subequal to pedicel which is 
dusky at base. Ovipositor extruded for about a fifth the length of the abdomen. A patch 
of about four short lines of coarser cilia under end of marginal vein. Funicles 2 and 4 each 
a little longer than 1. The type was reared from lecanium scales on a forest hush, December 
4, 1912. A second female was obtained on the 17th following from cockatoo apple infested 
with a Chionaspis, Gordonvale. Also, a female from Port Darwin, Northern Territory, 
November 10, 1913, forest (G. F. Hill). 
A male reared with two females from the coccid on cockatoo apple in November, 1913 
at Gordonvale, bore slenderer antennw than in the female, the club longer, apparently 2-jointed 
btit no articulation is present. The antennal segments are as in the female but there are two 
minute ring-joints; funicle 3 is smaller and black while the others are longer. 
* The head is white with a silvery band across just under the eyes followed by a narrow 
metallic greenish stripe.
