October 3, 1911. ; 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland.

Also one female, Townsville, January 23, 1915. Compared with type. 
GENUS EPIDINOCARSIS Girault. 
Head a little longer than wide (cephalic aspect), the antennz inserted near the clypeus, 
12-jointed with a ring-joint, the scape enormously dilated ventrad, the funicle filiform, the 
joints all longer than wide, the first as long as the pedicel which is elongate; club 3-jointed, 
cylindrical. Abdomen elongate, sharply pointed, distinctly longer than the head and thorax 
combined, the ovipositor slightly exserted. Marginal and stigmal veins subequal, moderately 
long, the stigmal curved, the postmarginal a half shorter; oblique naked line present. Vertex 
punctate. No carina between the base of the antenne. Propodeum without a median carina, 
transverse, widening distad. Frons moderately broad. Mandibles with two acute teeth. 
Axille meeting or separated. Corrected description. 
1. EPIDINOCARSIS TRICOLOR Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 1.80 mm. Orange yellow, the legs pale yellow, the coxe nearly white, the fore 
wings slightly stained proximad under the submarginal vein; pronotum (except laterad), 
cephalic margin of scutum, a large egg-shaped spot filling the center of scutellum from base 
to apex, two large areas on metathorax, their lateral margins involving the spiracle and 
separated broadly at meson and the distal half or more of the abdomen, purplish black. Head 
black, also the antenne except distal fifth or more of the scape, a little less than distal half 
of the pedicel, distal (sixth) funicle joint and the club which are white. Head and thorax 
finely densely alutaceous; the vertex and scutum with many pin-punctures. Distal funicle 
joint a little over half the length of the first which is three and a half times its own width. 
Funicle 6 not twice longer than wide, subequal to club 1. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, 1,500 feet, May 30, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3088, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head on a slide. 
2. EPIDINOCARSIS SUBFLAVICEPS new species. 
Female :—Length, 2 mm., excluding the ovipositor which is extruded for a length equal 
to a fifth that of the abdomen. 
Like tricolor but the head is concolorous with the body as are also the legs; the fore 
wings are hyaline; all of the pronotum and scutum immaculate but the face of pronotum is 
black; scutellum with a narrow black line down the meson or a central spot mesad. Otherwise 
as in tricolor except that the funicle and club are orange yellow to brown-black, the second 
funicle joint white, the third and fourth more or less blackish. The pedicel is a little shorter 
than the first funicle joint while the distal joint of the funicle is longer than in tricolor, over 
twice longer than its width, over half the length of the club while funicle 1 1s subequal to the 
pedicel. Cephalic margin of scutum sometimes blackish. 
From one female caught by sweeping in forest, September 12, 1912. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3089, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on a 
slide with type of tricolor. 
3. EPIDINOCARSIS MIRUS new species. 
Female :—Length, 1.30 mm. 
Uniformly brownish yellow, the wings hyaline. From tricolor antenne, differing in that 
all of the funicle joints are black except 2 and 3 which together with the club are pure white; 
and from subflaviceps in having much shorter distal funicle joints as in tricolor and in
