2. ZARHOPALOIDES LONGIFASCIATIPENNIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.35 mm. Abdomen longer than the thorax. 
Dark metallic green, the scutellum dark blue, the abdomen coppery. Fore wings hyaline: 
but with a distinct, moderately broad, midlongitudinal dusky stripe down them from apex nearly 
to a point opposite apex of venation. Trochanters, knees, tibiz and tarsi yellowish white, also 
the antenne; intermediate tibia dusky just below knee. Pedicel longer than any of the funicle 
joints of which 1-3 are subequal, each a little wider than long, smallest; funicle 1 a little 
smaller than 2 or 3, 6 largest, a little wider than long, twice the size of 4 which is somewhat 
larger than 3; club wider than the funicle and somewhat over half its length; scape slender. 
Serobes moderate, the antennz inserted on a level with the ventral ends of the eyes, the cheeks 
less than half the length of the eyes. Frons moderate, the lateral ocellus a little separated from 
the eye. Mandibular teeth not long, the inner somewhat shorter than the other two. Marginal 
vein slightly longer than wide, the stigmal vein somewhat longer than it, the postmarginal 
subequal to the marginal, the venation pale yellow. Oblique hairless line present and with about 
three lines of coarse discal cilia proximad of it; other discal ciliation very dense and fine; 
marginal fringes short. Fore wings moderately slender. Head and thorax densely scaly, the 
thorax rather sparsely pilose and with obscure scattered punctures, also present sparsely on the 
head. Axillew slightly separated. Hind tibial spurs small, double, unequal. 
Described from one female captured -by sweeping forest streamlet edged with jungle,. 
December 2, 1912 (A. P. Dodd).

3. ZARHOPALOIDES GRACILIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.10 mm. Slender, the ovipositor a little extruded, the abdomen conic, 
longer than the rest of the body. Differs from the preceding mainly in coloration of the legs. 
and the longer first funicle joint. 
Dark metallic blue, the scutellum dark green, the legs and antenne straw white. Fore 
wings hyaline, with a midlongitudinal dusky, rather broad stripe from apex (where it is a 
little broader) to opposite the apex of the dusky venation. Pedicel distinctly longer than any of 
the funicle joints of which 1-3 are subequal, each a little longer than wide and narrower than 
any of the three distal joints which widen slightly in succession and each of which is a little 
longer than wide, a little longer than either of the three proximal joints. Cheeks somewhat 
less than half the length of the eyes. Club somewhat wider than and somewhat more than half 
the length of the funicle. Third tooth of mandible shorter than the outer two which are 
subequal. Frons moderately broad. Face inflexed. Discal cilia under venation abruptly faint 
but the oblique hairless line is outlined but with no cilia proximad of it. Venation as in 
preceding. Hind tibial spurs double. First tarsal joint of hind legs much longer than the 
others taken separately. Thorax scaly, the scutum with sparse, short pubescence, apparentl~ 
absent on the scutellum. ‘xille distinctly separated for a rather short distance. 
From one female taken by sweeping along a forest streamlet, June 29, 1913. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3017, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, fore 
wing and a hind tibia on a slide.
