HAB : North America ; a very common parasite of Dryiiius 

 ornicnidis, Ashm. Hundreds if not thousands of specimens 

 emerged from the cocoons of that species, collected by Mr. 

 Koebele in Ohio and elsewhere. 



Chciloncunis gonatopodis, sp. nov. 



Ferruginous or yellow, the club of the antennae, and usually 

 the bas'al part of the hind tibiae, blackish or infuscate. Ocelli 

 placed on a submetallic area and forming a triangle with nar- 

 row base, but hardly twice as high as wide at the base. Eyes 

 with a very few, short and indistinct hairs. Scape of the an- 

 tennae very slender, cylindrical. Mesonotum with a basal trans- 

 verse blue band, w'hich is silvery from the clothing of white 

 setae, that it bears; propodeum at the sides dark. Wings infus- 

 cate on more than the basal half, except that the tips and around 

 the margins they are nearly hyaline; a darker transverse mark, 

 bearing long black setae, is placed near the base of the marginal 

 vein. Abdomen dark at the tip and also so marked on each 

 side at the extreme base; behind the latter marks there are on 

 each side of the bodv some, verv long black setae. Length 

 I mm. (Plate XIV, fig. 3-) 



HAB. Queensland, generally distributed; Cairns, Kuranda, 

 Bundaberg, Childers; parasitic on Psciidogonatopus, Echthrodcl- 

 phax, etc. Koebele's number 2264. 



Chciloncunis chlorodryini, sp. nov. 



Very like C. gonatopodis and C. swcccyi in general appearance, 

 but may be at once known from the former by the absence of 

 the metallic bind-margin to the mesonotum, which however has 

 the same silvery clothing. 



Scape, of antennae well rounded on the lower side :and dis- 

 tinctly dilated. Eyes in a front view of the bead strongly con- 

 verging anteriorly, so that the space between them is. where 

 least, excessively narrow, not very mucb wider than an ocellus. 

 The ocelli are placed in the form of an excessively elongate 

 triangle, the anterior one being extraordinarily remote from 

 the posterior. The bairs on the eyes are excessively short, but 

 numerous. The scape of the antennae is yellowish, its lower 

 margin dark; the pedicel and funicle entirely white, the club 

 black. The wings are as in C. gonatopodis. Length i^ mm. 



HAB: Kuranda, Queensland; taken out of the cocoons of 

 Chlorodryiims.
