Head pale or ivory white, the face ventrad of the eyes crossed by a wavy dark stripe which 
passes through the base of the antenne. Scape ventrad edged with black. Avxille meeting 
inwardly. Hairless line of fore wing with about five lines proximad of it. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Jungle, June 5, 1913, a female. 
Type: No. Hy 2989, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above female on a slide. 
One female, Kuranda, jungle, September 16, 1913 (A. P. Dodd) and December 3. 
1913. 
GENUS CHETLONEURUS Westwood. 
1. CHEILONEURUS GONATOPODIS Perkins. Female. 
Length, 1 mm. 
Ferruginous or yellow, the club of the antenne and usually the basal part of the hind 
tibia, blackish or infuscate. Ocelli on a submetallic area and forming a triangle with a narrow 
base but the triangle hardly twice as high as wide at base. Eyes with a very few short, 
indistinct hairs. Scape very slender, cylindrical. Seutum with a caudal cross-band of blue 
with a silvery lustre due to the pubescence; propodeum dark at the sides. Wings infuscate on 
more than the basal half except that at the tips and round the margins they are nearly 
hyaline; a darker transverse mark bearing long black sete, near the base of the marginal vein. 
Abdomen dark at tip and on each side at extreme base; distad of the dark at base on each 
side there are some very long sete. Scutum with silvery pubescence. 
Habitat: Cairns, Kuranda, Bundaberg and Childers, Queensland. 
Parasitic on Pseudogonatopus, Echthrodelphax and so forth. 
Type: Query. 
2. CHEILONEURUS CHLORODRYINI Perkins. Female. 
Length, 1.50 mm. 
Very like the preceding species and the North American swezeyi in habitus but differs 
from the former in lacking the caudal metallic cross-band on the scutum, which however has 
the same silvery pubescence. Scape well rounded on the ventral side and distinctly dilated. 
From cephalic aspect, eyes strongly convergent cephalad, the least space between them 
excessively narrow, not very much wider than an ocellus. The ocelli are placed in the form 
of an excessively elongate triangle, the anterior one being extraordinarily remote from the 
caudal ones. Hairs on the eyes excessively short but numerous. Scape yellowish, its ventral 
margin dark; pedicel and funicle white, the club black. Wings as in gonatopodis. 
Habitat: Kuranda, Queensland. In cocoons of Chlorodryinus. 
Type: Query. 
3. CHEILONEURUS PURPUREIVENTRIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1 mm. 
Orange yellow, the abdomen and caudal third of scutum metallic purple (the latter 
green); also the antennal club is black. Tuft of hairs at apex of scutellum black. Fore wings 
deeply embrowned from the apical half of the bend of the submarginal vein distad nearly to 
tip; the latter and a small spot just distad of marginal vein hyaline. The three lines of distal 
cilia proximad of the oblique hairless line rather long and coarser, very much longer than the 
cilia of the blade generally. Mandibles with three small, acute teeth. Scape distinctly dilated 
ventrad but not very greatly expanded; pedicel not especially long, longer than any of the 
funicle joits of which all are wider than long, 1-4 subequal, 5 and 6 distinctly longer than 
them. Thorax very finely longitudinally lineolate-reticulated. Axille barely separated. Metallic 
green caudal third of scutum hispid with silvery white hairs. Vertex very narrow, nearly flat, 
the face greatly inflexed, the frons subprominent, overhanging the face, narrow. Legs pale 
yellow. Vertex with a line of faint punctures along each eye margin, the surface coriaceous.
