WASP-GENUS PARALASTOR. 623 
PsEUDOZETHUS AUSTRALENSIS, Sp. n. 
Niger, clypeo, linea mandibulari, articulo antennarum primo, 
pronoti fascia transversa, tegulis, maculis scutelli duabus, spinis 
postscutellaribus, tibiis, tarsis, femorumque apicibus, fascia lata 
postpetiolari et margine apicali segmentorum sequentium, colo- 
ratis, partibus nonnullis colore flavo-aurantiaco, nonnullis rufo 
decoratis. Thorax sat nitidus, grosse punctatus, propodeo rugo- 
sim punctato et opaco. Abdominis pars postpetiolaris seomenti 
primi fortiter punctatus, suleo apicali trifoveato. Segmentum 
secundum fusco-tomentosum, medium juxta marginem apicalem 
foveatum, subtilius remote punctatum, fascia apicali circa partem 
quintam segmenti occupante. Ale flavo-hyaline, costam juxta 
flavescentes. Long. 13 mm. 
The clypeus and the mandibular lines are orange-yellow, the 
other markings orange-red or red. The third abdominal segment 
is less distinctly foveate at the middle apically than the preceding 
one. Allied to Hlimus, but the spinose angles of the post- 
scutellum and the Zethus-like form of the basal abdominal 
segment are very distinctive. 
Hab. N. Queensland, Australia (F. P. Dodd).

ABISPA MEADE-WALDOENSIS, Sp, 0. 
Almost exactly resembles in appearance the giant Odynerus, 
or more probably Khynchiwm, described as Abispa par aqiuides 
by Meade-Waldo, but is a true Abispa, excessively close to 
A. ephippium and perhaps only a local race of this. I can see no 
structural difference other than may well be individual. The
