EPIBLATTICIDA new genus. 
Female:—Runs to Neoblatticida Girault but differs in not having the club muck 
enlarged, stout and conic-ovate, nearly as long as the funicle; in having the third tooth of 
mandibles broadly truncate, the scape much less dilated, the funicle joints still longer, the 
frons moderate, the ovipositor distinctly extruded, the marginal vein shorter, only somewhat 
longer than the stigmal, very slightly longer than the postmarginal. Cheeks nearly as long as 
the eyes. Face much inflexed. Hind tibial spur single. Axille distinctly separated for some 
little distance. Habitus of Anagyrus. Ring-joint present. 
1. EPIBLATTICIDA LAMBI new species. Genotype. 
Female :—-Length, 1.30 mm., excluding the ovipositor which is black and extruded for 
a length equal to nearly half that of the abdomen. 
Metallic purple, the scutellum dark green, the wings hyaline, the venation black. Legs 
bright yellowish white except middle and caudal cox, caudal femur except at each end and a 
minute dusky dot on caudal tibiz dorsad a little below knees. Scape pale at each end. Body 
polygonally sealy, the vertex thickly pin-punctate, the scutum and scutellum clothed with 
rather dense, short yellowish pubescence from very minute punctures. Abdomen zneous at base, 
about as long as the thorax, rather acute, the hypopygium prominent distad. Pronotum 
transverse. Scutellum triangular, subequal in length to the scutum, the two rather plane. 
Pedicel a little longer than wide, distinctly longer than any of the funicle joints, the latter 
all distinetly wider than long, 1 and 2 subequal, distinctly narrower than the others which 
very slightly widen to apex. Hairless line of fore wing with more than six lines of cilia 
proximad of it. 
From one female taken by sweeping the forest on sand ridges near coast, May 13, 
1913 (A. PB. Dodd). 
Habitat: Chindera (Tweed River), New South Wales.

PARABLATTICIDA new genus. 
Female :—Runs to Epiblatticida Girault but differs in having the club larger, the scape 
more dilated, the teeth of the mandibles all rather long and acute, the middle tooth distinctly 
longest, the ovipositor barely extruded. Club only two thirds the length of the funicle. 
Abdomen short, triangular, depressed dorsad. Axille separated by a short cavina. 
1, PARABLATTICIDA PACHYSCAPHA new species. Genotype. 
Female :—Length, 1.05 mm. 
Velvety black, the legs concolorous except tips of tibizw, tarsi, middle femora and tibizx 
which are reddish yellow; funicle 1 pallid dusky. Fore wings with a lightly infumated stripe

Vendtion dusky black. Stigmal vein nearly as long as the marginal, the postmarginal distinctly 
shorter than the stigmal. Hairless line of fore wing with eight or more lines of discal cilia 
proximad of it. Thorax finely scaly, the seales small like those on the wings of butterflies.* 
Sore wings moderately broad. Scape much dilated, the pedicel a little longer than wide at 
apex, Jonger than any funicle joint; joints 1-3 of funicle shortest, subequal in width and. 
shortening distad, 3 twice wider than long; joints 4-6 distinctly larger, 4 about twice the size 
of 1 but smaller than 6 which is distinctly wider than long. Club obliquely truneate. Cheeks
