Australian Braconidae in the British Museum. Ill 



Agathiella unimaculata, sp. n. 



$. Rufo-testacea ; segmento mediano, abdomine, antennis, pedi- 

 busque posticis nigris; abdomine segmentis duobus basalibus albo- 

 flavidis, segmento primo dorsali macula magna rotundata nigra ; 

 alis fusco-hyalinis, stigmate venisque brunneis. 



Long. 4-5 mm. ; terebrae long. 3 - 5-4 mm. 

 • 2. Median segment smooth and shining; first tergite about half 

 as long again as the apical breadth; second tergite broader than 

 long; hind tarsi distinctly shorter than the hind tibiae, a little 

 shorter in proportion than in A. maligna. Second cubital cell 

 triangular, the petiole short. 



Hab. N. Queensland, Kuranda (Turner), May to July 

 1913. 



The median segment is black on the dorsal surface only. 

 In a specimen from Sydney (P. de la Garde), January 1898, 

 the black is reduced to a median streak ; the wings are also 

 paler. 



Agathiella tenuissima, sp. n. 



$. Nigra; capite, prothorace, tegulis, segmentis abdominalibus 

 duobus basalilms, primo basi nigro suffuso, pedibusque tlavo-testa- 

 ceis; femoribus posticis apice, tibiis tarsisque posticis fuscis; alis 

 pallidissime fusco-hyalinis; stigmate venisque pallide fuscis. 



Long. 5 mm. ; terebrae long. 5 mm. 



$. Median segment smooth and shining; abdomen very slender; 

 first tergite at least twice as long as the apical breadth; second 

 tergite longer than broad. Second cubital cell very small, the 

 petiole long, nervulus not interstitial, distinctly postfurcal. 



Hab. Victoria (French). 



Possibly the female of A. ruficeps, Szep., but the present 

 species has the scape yellowish, the flagellum brownish 

 beneath on the basal two-thirds, and the basal portion of 

 the hind legs is flavo-testaceous. Nor can the median 

 segment be described as " etwas uneben." 



Agathiella festinata, sp. n. 



?. Nigra; capite rufo; antennis nigris. articulis duobus basalibus 

 runs; pedibus rufo-testaecis, posticis trochanteribus, tibiis tarsisque 

 nigris; abdomine albo-fiavido, segmentis dorsalibus primo secundo- 

 que macula mediana, tertio, quarto, quintoque basi nigris; tertio 

 angulis anticis late albo-flavidis ; alis fusco-hyalinis, venis brunneo- 

 testaceis. 



Long. 8 mm.; terebrae long. 7 mm.
