From one female from miscellaneous sweepings along the Herbert River, February 26, 
1913. 
Habitat: Halifax (Ingham), Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3099, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head, a fore 
wing and an antenna on a slide. 
EPISTENOTERYS new genus. 
Female:—In my table of genera runs to the group containing Coccidoxenus Crawford 
but differs from all the included genera in having the vertex flat (the frons prominent), the 
face greatly inflexed and inclined ventro-caudad. Frons of moderate width. Antenne capitate, 
the large club somewhat longer than the funicle, the joints of the latter transverse linear, 
rapidly widening distad; scape slender; pedicel over half the length of the funicle. Mandibles 
small, with two acute teeth. Cheeks long. Marginal vein punctiform, the stigmal long and 
slender, curved, the postmarginal as long as the marginal; oblique hairiess line present. Axillee 
just meeting inwardly. Pronotum transverse-linear. Abdomen ovate, as long as the rest of 
the body, the ovipositor extruded for a third of its length. Hind tibial spur single. Secutellum 
rounded at apex. Thorax with a short phragma. 
1. EPISTENOTERYS MARMORATIPES new species. 
Female :—Length, 1 mm., excluding the ovipositor. 
Orange yellow, the legs, occiput, ventral half of face, apex of pedicel, club and ventral 
edge of scape, silvery white. Abdomen silvery white, the distal half of ovipositor valves 
dusky, the dorsal abdomen with five rather broad brownish black cross-stripes, the first at base, 
the fifth at apex; two quadrate marginal spots of the same color between stripes 1 and 2, the 
latter and 5 accented quadrately at lateral margin. Pronotum except laterad and the cephalic 
margins (cephalic fourth) of seutum blue-black; phragma, antennew, propodeum except cephalo- 
laterad rather broadly, a convex stripe across scutellum just before apex, brownish black. Legs 
marked as follows: A broad dusky band around middle of cephalic tibiz and apex of same; 
cephalic knees dusky; two rather broad bands of same encircling middle tibie, middle tibie 
at apex and base; the same on caudal tibiw but the caudal knees are also dusky black and the 
tibiw at apex black only dorsad. Base of scape white. Fore wings very finely ciliate discally, 
stained lightly from bend of submarginal vein to apex of stigmal; proximad of hairless line 
(which is closed caudad), over fifteen lines of cilia which are about twice coarser than the main 
ciliation yet fine. Cheeks just ventrad of eye dusky. 
From one female taken in forest, May 2, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Tweed Heads (Tweed River), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3100, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide with the 
slide type of Anagyrus novipurpureus Girault. 
GENUS ECHTHRODRYINUS Perkins. 
Head much wider than the cephalic part of the mesonotum, subsemicireular, the space 
between the great eyes very narrow, where narrowest not more than half the width of one of 
the eyes; caudal ocelli close to the eye margins and much more remote from the cephalic one 
than from each other, the face inflexed. Eyes clothed with very short, pale hairs. Mandibles 
with one small but distinct and more or less acute tooth and an inner apical truncation with 
its angle subrectangular, forming a distinet truncate second tooth. Antenne inserted near the 
mouth, the scrobes elongate and convergent above, the scape simple, the six funicle joints short 
and not differing much in length but the apical ones much wider than the basal; club with 
three subequal joints and as long as the three or four preceding joints of the funicle united; 
pedicel elongate, as long, or longer than, the first two joints of the funicle but not much 
thickened. Maxillary palpi short, joints 2 and 3 extremely short, 4 distinctly longer than either.
