2. Neochelogynns niiidns, sp. nov. 



Black, mandibles except the teeth, and the antennae except 

 the four apical joints, which are nearly entirely dark, ferrugin- 

 ous; the preceding joints more or less dark. Front legs brown- 

 ish, paler in front, hind legs nearly entirely black or piceous. 

 Head with the surface shining, much narrowed behind the eyes 

 to the occiput, the face closely, coarsely and shallowly rugose — 

 punctate; the antennae with the scape about as long as the two 

 following joints together, third joint distinctly longer than fourth, 

 fourth much more slender than fifth, which is nearly twice as 

 long as wide at the apex. Pronotum and mesonotum smooth, 

 shining, sparsely and finely punctured. Propodeum rugose m 

 front and with a raised line as in the preceding; its posterior face 

 with the median area subobsoletely defined, the surface quite 

 finely, transversely rugose. Abdomen smooth, shining, the basal 

 segment very narrow, of elongate, triangular form. Wings with 

 a large dark cloud, with the inner side oblique, occupying most 

 of the apical portion of the wing, from near the base of the dark 

 stigma; a second narrow dark band crosses the wing along 

 the region of the apex of the basal cells. Length about 4 mm. 



Hab. Bundaberg, Queensland; one female captured. 



3. Neochelogynns kiosoiiius, sp. nov. 



Black, mandibles and five basal joints of the antennae ferru- 

 ginous; front legs testaceous more or less brown, hind and mid- 

 die legs nearly entirely black or piceous. 



Head shining, its sides strongly convergent behind the eyes, the 

 face shining, with coarse but extremely shallow punctures, nearly 

 efit'aced and more or less running into one another, so as to be 

 rugose; median carina fine but distinct. Antennae almost as in 

 N. nitidus. Pronotum for the most part, the mesonotum, scutel- 

 lum and postscutellum shining and very smooth; the mesonotum 

 very sparsely, finelv punctured. Propodeum rugose, seen from 

 in front with the raised line, which is produced forward in the 

 middle, distinct; posteriorly for the most part smooth and shin- 

 ing, the middle area distinguishable in certain aspects, but the 

 raised lines, which bound it, are largely obsolete. Basal abdom- 

 inal segment elongate-triangular. Wings with two dark bands 

 similar to those of the preceding species, stigma brown. Length 

 about 4 mm. 



Ha'b. Bundaberg, Queensland; one female bred.
