Appears to me to be allied to the species of Chciloneurus, that 

 are parasitic on Dryinids, but the elongate form and the ovate 

 or snbelongate head, as viewed from the front, will readily 

 separate it. 



Saronotum australiac, sp. nov. 



Head dull, submetallic. the face below the antennae and the 

 scape testaceous or ferruginous. Mesonotum somewhat shin- 

 ing, aeneous, clothed with appressed, short, white hairs; scutel- 

 lum yellow, the parapsides browner ; propodeum very smooth 

 and shining, brassy ; mesopleura purple, metapleura with white 

 hairs. Legs brownish-yellow or testaceous, the middle and 

 posterior tibiae and the posterior femora dark, blackish or pice- 

 ous for the most part. Abdomen shining brassy at the base, 

 the rest brown. Wings with a small basal cloud, and one ovei 

 more than the apical half ,leaving, however, the extreme tip and 

 two minute obscure spots (one at the tip of the marginal vein, 

 the other nearly opposite this) more or less whitish. Length 

 1 3 mm. 



HAB : Bundaberg, Queensland ; parasitic on Pscudogona- 

 topus. 



Saronotum anicricanimi, sp. nov. 



Extremely like the preceeding, but distinguished at once by 

 the dark- parapsides and anterior part of the scu'tellum. Head 

 piceous black and very faintly metallic, face above thf antennae 

 with the shallow punctures quite noticeable, and more num- 

 erous than in the preceding ; scape of antennae and face below 

 the antennae brownish. Mesonotum somewhat shining in 

 some aspects, but the surface generally appearing dull from the 

 dense clothing of white hairs ; scutellum ferruginous, dark along 

 fhe anterior margin, as also are the parapsides; mesopleura, 

 propodeum, legs and wings as in S. australiac. 



HAB : Ohio, U. S. A. ; probably rare as only one example 

 was bred from the many Dryinid cocoons sent by Koebele.
