abrupt, smooth, with small rounded spiracles. Wings hyaline, with a faint discoidal cloud; 
venation brown; marginal and postmarginal veins about equal, one third the length of the 
subcostal vein; stigmal vein a little shorter than the marginal, gently curved and ending in 
a small knob. Abdomen subglobose, subcompressed beneath and sessile, not longer than 
thorax; the second segment (or first body segment) nearly twice the length of the third, 
the following subequal. Hind femora somewhat swollen, with a slight tooth beneath before 
apex.

In a small collection received from the National Museum, Melbourne, there was a species: 
agreeing with the diagnosis of this genus in that the abdomen was depressed from both dorsad 
and ventrad, appearing membranous and as if crushed and pulled (like a normal abdomen 
of a small locustid which had been much stretched by pulling and then pressed and allowed 
to dry in that position). Segment 2 of abdomen occupied over a third of the surface. The 
cephalic femora were excised before tip, with a tubercle in the excision. Otherwise like 
Agamerionella but funicle 1 was more like a ring-joint. The distal two or three joints of 
the antennz were missing. The species resembled Agamerionella locustiformis but the fuscous- 
spots on the fore wing were distinct and more continuous, forming 2 crescent. The legs. 
(except cox) and joints 2-4 of funicle red. Propodeum with a median carina. The label 
was ‘‘No. 49. Nr. Melbourne.’’ The sex apparently female but not really known 
PAREPISTENIA new genus of A. P. Doda. 
Head no wider than the thorax, viewed from front no wider than long; eyes large,. 
pubescent. Cephalic ocellus not within the scrobes. Antenne inserted close to the clypeus-. 
and close together, 11-jointed, without true ring-joints, funicle 1 being like a ring-joint, the 
club solid. Mandibles tridentate. Pronotum large, quadrate; parapsidal furrows complete, 
scutellum simple. Abdomen conic-ovate, depressed above, gently convex beneath, carinated 
laterally, scarcely longer than rest of body, the second segment as long as wide, third quite 
short, 4-6 long, longer than 2; 7 and 8 somewhat produced, the valves of the ovipositor not 
plainly exserted. Fore wings long and broad, reaching apex of abdomen, the stigmal vein 
barely a fourth as long as the long marginal, the latter longer than the postmarginal. Posterior 
femora much swollen, more so than the anterior ones and simple; the anterior tibi@ with five: 
teeth from half length to apex. Hind tibial spurs not long. Propodeum rugose, without 
definite carine. Distinguished by the teeth on the anterior tibia. 
1. PAREPISTENIA VARICORNIS new species of A. P. Dodd. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 5 mm. 
Metallic coppery green, the legs (except posterior cox), basal half of antennal scape 
and funicle, golden yellow, the antenne darker; apical half of scape, pedicel and club black.
