species of Go)iafopiis previously described by me should be re- 

 ferred to Dico}idyliis Hal. 



Gonatop]ts anomala sp. nov. 



Face pale, the mandibles and front of scape, yellow, the head 

 above dark brown, two basal joints of antennae pale, third in- 

 fuscate, the rest dark fuscous or black. Thorax brown, the pro- 

 podeum of darker shade than the pronotum, tarsi pale testaceous, 

 the femora and middle and hind tibiae darker, sordid. Abdomen 

 blackish, paler basally behind the petiole. 



Head above shining and concave between the eyes, the anten- 

 nae with the third joint one and a half times as long as the fourth, 

 or more. Pronotum with some sparse erect hairs, feebly sculp- 

 tured, in side view simply convex above, the transverse division 

 being absent. Propodeum with very sparse, but distinct, erect, 

 longish hairs, shining above both in front of and behind the 

 spiracles, its posterior face distinctly transversely rugose. All 

 the femora with distinct, erect, pale hairs, first and fourth joints 

 of front tarsi subequal, chelae normal for Jassid parasites. Ab- 

 domen polished, clothed sparsely with distinct pale hairs. Length 

 3 mm. 



This species is remarkable for the simple pronotum and is 

 doubtfully placed under the genus Gouatopiis. The maxillary 

 palpi are very short, and perhaps there is only one joint beyond 

 the flexure. 



Hab. Fiji, bred from Jassid (]\Iuir ). 



Dicoiidyliis pcrpolitiis sp. nov. 



Deep black, for the most part highly polished. Face below 

 the antennae, and for a short way above these along the eye 

 margins, and the mandibles, pale. First three antennal joints 

 testaceous or the third more or less dark. All the coxae black 

 or nearly so and clothed with sparse pale hairs, the trochanters 

 and tibiae paler, the tarsi quite pale testaceous. 



Head above with excessively minute microscopic reticulation, 

 which does not ])revent it from being shining, the vertex with 

 sparse, short, white hairs. 



Antennae moderately stout, the thin third joint about one and 

 a half times as long as the fourth. Pronotum with well marked 

 transverse division, very highly polished, the hind lobe with fine 

 indefinite punctuation; mesonotal constriction rugulose, the tho-
