256 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Habitat. — Australia : Ayr, Queensland. 

 Type.— No. Hy 1273, Queensland Museum, Brisbane ; the 

 above specimen in xylol-balsam. 



2. New Habitats of Some Mymaridje. 



Mymar tyndalli, Girault, Proserpine, Queensland, November 

 3rd, 1912 ; sweeping miscellaneous vegetation and grass near a 

 small pond in an open semi-cultivated field ; this specimen was 

 much darker along the dorsum of thorax and distal half of 

 abdomen ; it was also smaller. 



Anagrus armatus australiensis, Girault, was captured from a 

 window at Nelson, North Queensland, November 11th, 1912; 

 female. Also from windows at Proserpine, Queensland, November 

 4th, 1912; a female. 



Stethynium cuvieri, Girault, was captured at Nelson, North 

 Queensland, from a window, October 19th, 1912 ; female. 



Gonatocerus comptei, Girault (two males), was captured at 

 Proserpine, Queensland, November 4th, 1912, by sweeping grass, 

 forest. Also the same species at Ayr, Queensland, represented 

 by a female taken from a window in a smith's shop, November 

 6th, 1912. In this species the distal funicle joints are sometimes 

 longer than usual, longer in relation to their width, and thus 

 not more or less subquadrate (funicles 4-8). 



Stethynium lavosieri (female) was captured at Ayr, Queens- 

 land, November 7th, 1912, from a window in a smithy. The 

 funicle joints were visible, and all are not subglobular, for the 

 second joint is twice longer than broad and longest ; the other 

 joints are subquadrate or subglobular. 



3. Seventh New Species of Stethynium from Australia. 

 Genus Stethynium, Enock. 

 Stethynium latipenne, n. sp. (normal position). 

 Male. — Length, 058mm. Eobust for the genus. Lemon yellowish ; 

 the pronotum, mesocutum excepting lateral and caudal margins and 

 more obscurely along the median line, the tegula, the cephalic third 

 of the parapside and all of the abdomen (including that part of the 

 phragma projecting into it) contrasting velvety black ; antennae and 

 legs pallid yellow, the former somewhat suffused with dusky ; distal 

 tarsal joints dusky. Wings subhyaline. Phragma with a longitu- 

 dinal median sulcus. 



Differs from all the Queensland species of the genus in bearing 

 much broader fore wings, distinctly much broader than those of 

 lavosieri, and bearing at their widest part about thirty lines of fine 

 discal cilia ; longest marginal cilia of fore wings somewhat over half 

 those wings' greatest width and subequal in length to the longest 

 cilia of the posterior wings ; the latter moderately broad, with about 

 six lines of discal ciliation at apex, the mid-longitudinal cilia fading 

 out not far caudad from apex. Cephalic marginal cilia of posterior 

 wings distinctly longer than the greatest width of the blade.
