knee a distinet black band and there is a spot before knee on ventral edge of hind femur; 
also a minute dot on hind tibiz dorsad two thirds way to apex and the apex of middle 
tibia narrowly, brown); base of abdomen ventrad and proximal three fourths of margins 
latero-ventrad (showing dorsad as a marginal spot at proximal third and proximal two 
thirds), tegule and extruded valves of ovipositor at distal half. Scutum and seutellum dark 
metallic green, the axillw, lateral margins of scutum rather broadly, lateral and apical margins 
of scutellum narrowly, orange yellow. Fore wings infuscated from proximal fourth to apex, 
the infuscation broken by the hyaline hairless line and by a long V-shaped hyaline line whose 
cephalic arm originates between the stigmal and postmarginal veins. Venation blackish, the 
marginal vein two and a third times longer than wide, subequal to the stigmal which is about 
twice the length of the postmarginal. Axille just meeting inwardly. Pronotum with short 
black pubescence, the scutum and seutellum with short silvery pubescence, the surface extremely 
finely sheened. Abdomen densely scaly, conic-ovate, about as long as the rest of the body. 
Seutellum large, triangular, the propodeum transverse but visible from above. Mandibles 
with three equal teeth. Frons subprominent, the vertex flat, rather narrow, the cheeks as long 
as the eyes. Scape slender, with bulla about as long as the funicle, the flagellum subcylindrieal, 
the club barely wider than the funicle and not quite half as long. Pedicel subequal to funicle 
6 which is longest, a little longer than wide, wider than 1 which is subequal to 2 and quadrate. 
Hind tibial spurs double, the shorter spur no longer than the apical setze but distinctly stouter. 
Hairless line of fore wing with many lines of cilia proximad of it. 
From one female caught, May 17, 1914 sweeping at 1,000 feet in forest (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Upper Tweed River, New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3042, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, a hind 
leg and fore wing on a slide. 
LEUROCEROIDES new genus. 
Female :—Head rounded, the face inflexed, the frons not prominent, moderate in width, 
the cheeks somewhat shorter than the eyes. Mandibles rather small, slender, with three small 
acute teeth at apex. Antenns inserted below the middle of the face but not especially near the 
mouth border, 10-jointed with one minute ring-joint, the club solid, the seape short, dilated 
ventrad but not greatly, the funicle joints wider than long, enlarging distad, the first two 
subequal and smallest. Pedicel a little longer than wide, longer than any of the funicle joints. 
Funicle 3 distinetly larger than 2 but not much smaller than the following joints. Marginal 
vein nearly twice longer than wide, slightly longer than the stigmal, subequal to the post- 
marginal. Hind tibial spur small. Thorax convex, a little longer than the usual abdomen. 
Axillz with a carina between them (hence are joined). Scutellum reaching base of abdomen. 
Legs normal. Pronotum transverse-linear. Middle tibial spur large. 
1. LEUROCEROIDES NIGER new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 0.75 mm. 
Jet, the wings hyaline; funicle and club suffused with brown. Knees, tips of tibie 
and tarsi reddish brown (middle legs), white elsewhere. Venation brown. Whole body 
extraordinarily finely longitudinally lineolated giving a velvety effect. Mandibles dusky, 
reddish at tip. Hairless line of fore wing with five lines of cilia proximad of it. Caudal tibie 
clavate. 
From one female caught by sweeping in forest, April 20, 1913 (H. Hacker). Queensland 
Museum Collection. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3043, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, fore 
wing and hind tibie on a slide.
