294 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
2. PACHYTOMOIDES QUEENSLANDICA Girault. Female. 
Length, 4 mm., not including the ovipositor which is fully as long as the body. 
At once differing from mirus in bearing eight teeth along the posterior femur of which 
the first, fourth, sixth and seventh are largest, the eighth with a very broad base, its distal 
side a long incline; teeth 2 and 5 subequal, 3 a little shorter, all distinct. Antenne yellow- 
brown, the club dark. Propodeum concolorous; first two legs wholly honey yellow, the posterior 
one purplish black, except tarsi, tips of tibia and the knees. Abdomen honey yellow except 
above just at base and along distal half; thus in general encircled by a broad band of 
yellow; valves of ovipositor black. Propodeum umbilico-rugoso-punctate, without carine 
dorsad, much rougher than the dense, fine punctation of the rest of the thorax. Teeth of 
mandibles fine, three of them distinct. Distal three funicle joints wider than long, the club as 
_long as the funicle. 
Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Jungle, May 8, 1913. 
Type: No. Hy 3322, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag and a slide 
with the head and a hind femur. 
38. PACHYTOMOIDES FRATER new species. 
Female :—Length, 3.85 mm., excluding the ovipositor which is a little longer than the 
body. 
Very similar to mirus but at once distinguished from that species by bearing on the 
abdomen at apex of proximal two thirds a distinct black, rather narrow encircling band 
(except across venter; in mirus there is a large crescent-shaped spot of black in the lateral - 
aspect at about the same distance from base). Also, the caudal femur bears but seven teeth, 
the first, sixth and seventh largest, 6 longest, columnar, 3 smallest, 2 next so, none paired. 
The distal two funicle joints are wider than long, joints 2 and 3 longest, subequal, 4 only 
a little shorter than 3; flagellum brown suffused with dusky, the club jet black. Otherwise 
about as in mirus. Compared with type of latter. 
From one female caught in forest on sand-ridges near coast, May 8, 1913 (A. P. Dodd). 
Habitat: Chindera (Tweed River), New South Wales. 
Type: No. Hy 3323, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; flagellum 
and a caudal femur on a slide. 
MEGASTIGMIN 2. 
There is an undescribed genus in this group like Megastigmus but the male antennz 
are very slender and with whorls of hairs. I was unable to obtain the female with certainty. 
Most of the genera bear, perhaps, two ring-joints, the first very short. 
GENUS NEOMEGASTIGMUS Girault. 
This genus is like Spilomegastigmus Cameron but the mandibles tridentate, the antenne 
13-jointed, the club distinctly “3-jointed; one large ring-joint. Fore wings usually with a 
black spot appended from the stigmal vein. Secutellum simple, uniformly sculptured. 
1. NEOMEGASTIGMUS LIVIDUS new species. Female. Genotype. 
Length, 2 mm., excluding ovipositor which is extruded for a length somewhat over 
that of the abdomen. 
Black-blue, the legs (except the concolorous coxe) and the tegule yellowish white, the 
antenne similarly colored. Wings hyaline, the stigma darker than the spot beneath it. 
Thorax scaly but the lines more or less transverse. Valves of ovipositor brown-black. 
Propodeum rugulose, without a median carina. Posterior cox sculptured like the thorax,
