154 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
above antennal insertions. Axille not quite meeting inwardly. Mandibles bidentate, both teeth 
strong. Abdomen short, produced ventrad, the ovipositor usually projecting some distance 
beyond, naked and slender. Fore wings simple, infuscated, with an oblique hairless line from 
the junction of the marginal and stigmal veins, the marginal vein rather long but a third 
shorter than the postmarginal, the stigmal well developed slightly shorter than the postmarginal. 
Legs normal, the posterior tibiz with one spur, the intermediate tibial spur not enlarged. 
Mandibles appearing acute or edentate from above (their lateral aspect). Labial palpi 
3-jointed, the maxillary 4-jointed. 
The cylindrical scape, cephalic characters, antennal segmentation and the long post- 
marginal vein serve to distinguish this genus. 
1. PARANUSIA LONGISCAPUS Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 1.75 mm. 
Submetallic greenish black, the face below the transverse suture, the mesoscutum and 
axille dark reddish; legs black, the tarsi lemon yellow; fore wings stained irregularly, the 
venation fuscous. Sides of thorax reddish; antenne black. Head and thorax impunectate, finely 
alutaceous. Pedicel longer than any of the funicle joints, of which the third is longest, all 
widening distad and prolonged at one side from apex, the sixth four times wider than long; 
club somewhat over half the length of the funicle. 
Described from eleven specimens on two cards (one pin) and mounted with ants upon 
which they are probably parasitic. 
Habitat: Murray Bridge, South Australia. 
Type: I.1290, South Australian Museum, the above specimens and a slide bearing 
head and fore wing. 
GENUS EPANUSIA Girault. 
Like Anusia Foerster but the marginal vein not short, over twice longer than wide, 
the postmarginal vein not much shorter than the marginal, somewhat longer than the stigmal; 
the lateral ocelli are far distant from the eye margins, the frons is moderately broad, with a 
very fine scaly sculpture and scattered pin-punctures. The wings are perfect and banded. 
Otherwise the same. Fore wing with a long hairless line back from stigmal vein and which 
curves, proximad. Axille slightly separated. Robust. 
1. EPANUSIA BIFASCIATUS Girault. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 2.10 mm. 
Dark biue, submetallic, the scutum and propodeum with short white pubescence, the 
scutellum bright orange, the axilla and pronotum (less so) suffused with orange; head also 
orange, the vertex darker. Fore wings with two narrow black bands, the first across from the 
marginal and posimarginal veins, suberescentic, its distal margin concave; the second across. 
from the bend of the submarginal vein, both fainter near caudal margin; the blade distad of 
the apex of the postmarginal vein densely, finely, uniformly ciliate and tightly embrowned; 
venation brown-black; stigmal vein nearly at right angles to the marginal. Legs concolorous, 
except cephalic femora, all knees and tarsi which are brownish. Antenne foliaceous, including 
the scape, greatly compressed, concolorous, the 3-jointed club, however, conico-cylindrical, the 
sixth or distal joint of the funicle subquadrate but still flat, the pedicel triangular, minute, the 
first funicle joint obconic, much the longest of the funicle, the next three joints distinetly much 
wider than long; no ring-joint, eleven antennal joints. Scutum green, body finely sculptured. 
Seutum with a short silvery pubescence. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Forest, September 3, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3109, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag, the head and a 
fore wing on a slide. 
A second specimen, type locality, May 29, 1912 in forest at 1,500 feet.
