WASP-GENUS PARALASTOR. 581 
are extremely small, while in another they form a broad band, 
slightly interrupted in the middle. 
Hab. Queensland, Mackay (Zurner), 5 3; Queensland, from 
E. Saunders’s collection, 2 3. 
8. PARALASTOR COGNATUS Sm. 
This species is entirely distinct from and not closely allied to 
P. fraternus, which it resembles in colour, and of which Smith 
thought it might be the male. Its comparatively slightly 
emarginate, bicarinate clypeus distinguishes it at once. 
Hab. Doro (Wallace); type in the Oxford Museum. 
9. PARALASTOR UNIFASCIATUS Sm. 
Clypeus formed as in P. cognatus; the tegule shining, with 
the minute puncturation not, or barely at all, discernible, whereas 
in cognatus their surface is nearly dull, and there is a copious 
though excessively fine puncturation, 
Hab. Aru (Wallace) ; type in the Oxford Museum. 
10. PARALASTOR CONSPICIENDUS, Sp. n. 
@. Nigra; clypei pars basalis et macula interantennalis, 
nonnunguam sinus ocularis, macula magna utrinque postorbitalis, 
pronoti margo anterior late, fasciaque lata basalis segmenti 
secundi abdominalis, postice emarginata, flava aut albido-flava. 
Clypeus late lunulato-emarginatus, utrinque carina, bene elevata, 
acute munitus. Frons capitis. dense aureo-tomentosa, distincte 
fortiter punctatus, tomento remoto. Anguli pronotales distincti, 
haud prominuli, Mesonotum tomentosum, et pilis erectis sat 
evebre vestitum, postscutello haud evidenter tuberculato. Tegule, 
marginem exteriorem versus, minutissime punctulate, ibique 
haud aliter punctate. Ale, costali parte atro-fusca excepta, fere 
hyaline. Abdominis segmentum 2 ventrale fortissime abrupte 
supra suleum elevatum, elevatione summa antice prominula. 
Long. 12-13 mm. 
Hab. Queensland, Inkerman, near Townsville (Stalker), 1 9 ; 
Townsville, 1 2 (Dodd); Queensland, 1 92, from EH. Saunders. 
All in the British Museum Collection. 
11. PARALASTOR ELEGANS, Sp. n. 
2. Colore et picturatione P. maculiventris Sauss. (Hit. Masar. 
et Suppl. pl. xvi. f. 3). 
This species differs from Saussure’s description of P. maculi- 
ventris only as follows :—The clypeal emargination between 
the teeth is not straight, but slightly rounded; there is only a 
yellow spot on the inner orbits, the head is very densely clothed 
with golden tomentum, not blackish. The fascia of the first 
abdominal segment is incomplete, failing before the lateral 
angles.
