Female :—Characterized remarkably as follows: Mandibles with four distinct, short 
teeth which are smaller mesad; antennz with one large ring-joint as in some Pteromalide, the 
funicle 5-jointed, the scape much dilated foliaceously and only somewhat longer than wide, the: 
club conical, 3-jointed and not as long as the funicle and only a little wider, the joints of the 
funicle short; hind femur and tibia distinctly compressed and rather broad. Marginal vein 
thickened, subquadrate, a very little longer than wide, the stigmal somewhat longer than it, the 
postmarginal somewhat shorter than the marginal. Hind tibial spur single. Axille joined, 
with a slight carina between them. Abdomen narrower and longer than the thorax, conical, the 
ovipositor distinctly extruded a short distance. Pronotum transverse. Face inflexed. Frons. 
moderately narrow, narrowing cephalo-ventrad. Cheeks as long as the eyes or a little longer.

1. PTEROMALENCYRTUS QUADRIDENTATUS new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.39 mm. including ovipositor. 
Metallic purple, the wings hyaline the venation brown; tarsi white. Thorax densely 
polygonally scaly, the axille less distinctly so. Scutum with rather sparse pubescence, the 
seutellum inclined ventro-caudad, nearly reaching base of abdomen, subequal in length to the 
scutum. Funicle joints subequal, each somewhat wider than long, each distinctly shorter than 
the pedicel which is stout, a little longer than wide. Club somewhat over half the length of the 
funicle, longer than the body of the scape. MHairless line of fore wing with three lines of cilia 
proximad of it. Marginal and discal cilia of fore wing fine. 
From one female caught in forest, November 2, 1912.

thickened, quadrate, the postmarginal absent, the stigmal a little longer than the marginal.

funicle, not enlarged, long. Mandibles rather slender, with three acute teeth at apex. Mandibles- 
not elongate. Hind tibial spur double. Abdomen triangular, as long as the thorax. Pronotum 
transverse. Legs slender. 
1. PARACHINOCERCUS PERSEVERANS new species. 
Female :—Length, 0.85 mm. 
Dark neous, the scutellum purple, the abdomen dark coppery, the wings hyaline, tips: 
of tibie, tarsi and middle knees white, also trochanters; venation black, the stigmal vein 
colorless. Hairless line of fore wing with only three and a half lines of discal cilia proximad 
of it. Scape slender, as long as the funicle, the pedicel somewhat longer than wide at apex,. 
longer than any of the funicle joints, the first of the latter distinctly shortest, somewhat wider 
than long, 2 quadrate, the following joints each slightly longer than the one preceding it. 
Club joints distinctly longer and larger than the funicle joints, the middle joint a little the 
longest of the three, longer than wide, wider than the funicle. Fore wings very broad. Cheeks. 
nearly as long as the eyes. Scutellum longitudinally striate, the scutum densely polygonally 
scaly, the axill# less distinctly so, the scutellum so at apex. Scutellum extending to base of

Habitat: Childers, Southern Queensland.
