5. EPIMETAGEA POLITA new species. 
Female :—Length, 3.25 mm. 
Dark metallic purple, the wings hyaline, the knees, cephalic tibie, tips of other tibize 
and the tarsi yellowish brown, also the scape and pedicel. Head mostly smooth. Seutum at 
cephalic third with four transverse carinew not close together, otherwise polished; parapsides. 
polished, the furrows coarsely foveate. Axille glabrous, laterad with traces of longitudinal 
carine at cephalic margin; scutellum the same but with longer carine from _ base 
laterad, coarse and interlacing (parapsides laterad with scattered pin-punctures), the lateral 
and apical margin foveate and then strongly carinate; apical fourth of secutellum at meson with 
a median carina projecting cephalad from apex and terminating in a cross-carina (abbreviated 
laterad) at about distal two thirds. Propodeum with a line of fovew around cephalic margin, 
_dorsad with a few longitudinal carine (a long, complete, curved lateral carina is distinct), 
foveate toward the margins. Petiole rugulose, not quite twice the length of the hind coxe. 
Funicle joints only slightly produced from disto-lateral angle but the antenne as in the genotype: 
except that the pedicel lacks the long seta. 
From one female minutien-mounted captured by H. Hacker, April 24, 1912. Also another 
taken November 19, 1913. 
Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3284, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the first specimen and an antenna 
on a slide. 
6. EPIMETAGEA BICOLORIVENTRIS new species. 
Female :—Length, 5 mm. 
Like polita but all tibizwe yellowish brown and the distal half (more ventrad) of abdomen 
is dull blood red. Head finely longitudinally striate along upper half of face, elsewhere smooth 
but with scattered fine punctures. Scutum coarsely, transversely striate; scutellum densely 
coarsely foveate. Caudal half of parapside glabrous, the other half like the scutum. Axille 
foveate. A more or less distinct, coarse, median line of transverse fover along the scutellum. 
Propodeum wholly rugose but not as coarse as the scutellum. Antenne as in polita but the 
scape is longer. Thoracic pleura rugulose, polished centrally ventrad of tegule (farther 
dorsad and ventrad in jpolita). Occiput with faint circular striation. Petiole somewhat 
longer than the hind coxe. 
From one female minutien-mounted labeiled ‘‘Hacker, Bribie Island, Moreton Bay 
near Brisbane, November 3, 1913.7’ 
Habitat: Bribie Island, Queensland. 
Type: No. Hy 3285, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen and one antenna 
on a slide (with a pair of same of polita). 
GENUS TRICORYNA Kirby. 
1. TRICORYNA ECTATOMMAE new species. 
Female :—Length, 2.85 mm. 
Dark metallic blue-green, the wings hyaline, the tarsi whitish (hind tarsi so distad of first 
joint which is about half the tarsus). Head circularly striate, the striz not dense. A median 
groove on thorax, coarser on the scutellum, faint on distal scutum. Scutellum unarmed, with. 
coarse longitudinal strie, the scutum with oblique striz cephalad but the caudal half together 
with all of the parapsides, glabrous. Axille like the scutellum. Surface between striz 
glabrous. Abdomen glabrous, blackish, with numerous but scattered, distinct, rather coarse 
pin punctures over the surface, the petiole finely longitudinally lined, a little over twice longer 
than wide. Antenne 9-jointed like those of subsalebrosa except that one joint is absent and 
the last one is no smaller than those immediately preceding it. Antenne thick, moniliform.
