4- Ncochelogyntis diuiidiatus, sp. nov. 



Black, the mandibles and the antennae except the four ter- 

 minal joints, ferruginous; two or three joints preceding the four 

 terminal, more or less dark in part. Front legs testaceous, more 

 or less brown posteriorly; middle and hind legs nearly black, ex- 

 cept the apices of the tarsal joints. 



Head shining, and with coarse, shallow, subconfluent punct- 

 ures; the antennae formed much as in the preceding species. 

 Mesonotum very smooth and shining, with very sparse fine 

 punctures; the pronotum in front with ill-defined, coarse, punct- 

 uration. Propodeum seen from in front with the usual raised 

 line, which is however not very definite; in front of this line, finely 

 rugose; on the posterior face still more finely sculptured, rugu- 

 lose, a little shining in some aspects, the posterior median area 

 not defined. Abdomen narrow, subcompressed, the basal seg- 

 ment elongate triangular. Wings as in the preceding. Length 

 3-5 mm- 



Hab. Bundaberg, Queensland; one female bred. 



5. NcocJiclogynns nigriconvis, sp. nov. 



Black, the front tibiae and all the tarsi testaceous, the rest oi* 

 the legs brown or darkish. 



Head dull or almost so, with very dense and fine rugose 

 sculpture; antennae with the second joint' long, al:»out equal to 

 the third, the joints becoming wider very gradually from the 

 third, so that the fifth is not abruptly wider than the fourth; 6th, 

 7th and 8th joints subequal, wide, but very evidently longer than 

 broad. Pronotum in front sculptured like the head, posteriorly 

 more or less smooth and shining; mesonotum with extremely 

 fine microscopic rugulosity of the surface, which prevents it from 

 being very shining, and with a few fine and feeble punctures; in 

 very minute examples, sometimes quite smooth and impunctate. 

 Propodeum in front rugose, the dorsal surface posteriorly bound- 

 ed bv the usual raised line, sometimes broken in the middle, and, 

 not very distinct, owing to the general rugosity of the surface; 

 posteriorly the surface with dense and fine granular or rugulose 

 sculpture, the median area not marked out by raised lines. Wings 

 without dark bands, neuration and stigma pale, yellow. ~"Length 

 2-3.5 mm. 



Hab. Bundaberg, Queensland; bred.
