3. Tetrastichus nelsonensis new species. 

 Female: Length, 1,60 mm. 



Much like fasciatus but the abdomen is less regularly- 

 banded, there being but five transverse stripes, the 

 proximal one faint, the fourth abreviated laterad, the 

 fifth consisting merely of a transverse dash on each 

 side of the meson. In the centre of the mesoscutum, 

 a round black spot on each side of the meson (some- 

 times very obscure); an elongate spot in the middle 

 of the mesad margin of each parapside and a round 

 dot in the center of the scutellum at cephalic three 

 fourths ; another similar spot on the shoulder, directly 

 cephalad of the base of each parapside. Differs 

 markedly from fasciatus in discal that the ciliation 

 of the fore wing beneath the marginal vein is coarser 

 and less dense than that distad, of the venation; in 

 fasciatus, there is no marked difference in this respect, 

 the ciliation equally dense and fine. 



(From four specimens, similarly enlarged.) 



Male: The same but averaging a half smaller, 

 the discal ciUa of the fore wing less dense but rela- 

 tively the same. There are three black stripes across 

 the abdomen, distal half, the first interrupted at the 

 meson. The median groove of the scutum is obscure, 

 not very distinct in the female. 



(From three specimens.) 



Described at first from three males, four females 

 reared from a lot of miscellaneous galls from forest 

 trees, Nelson, N. Q., December 12, 1912 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: AustraUa — ^Nelson (Cairns), Queens- 

 land. 



Types: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 

 one male, one female on tags (2 j)ins), plus a slide 

 with two females. 



4. Tetrastichus flavio new species. 

 Female: Length, 1,75 mm 



Dark aeneous green, the face beneath antennae 

 straw yellow, the legs (excepting the metallic blue 

 posterior coxae) white, the mngs hyaline; distal 

 tarsal joint brown, the venation yellowish brown. Ab- 

 domen somewhat produced, longer than the rest of 

 the body. Tegulae white; pedicel yellow beneath. 

 Sculpture as in the other species. Funicle joints not 

 long, the distal one only slightly longer than wide. 



(Fi-om one specimen, similarly magnified.) 



Male: Not known. 



Described from a single female captured by swee- 

 ping forest growth along the top of the second coast 

 range of mountains just west south-west of Nelson, 

 N. Q. (about 1500 feet). May 28, 1912. 



Habitat: Australia — Nelson (Cairns), N. Q. 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 

 the foredescribed female on a tag, the head on a slide. 



This species characterized by its general coloration, 

 the straw yellow oral area and the perfectly white 

 legs, more especially the first two pairs of coxae. 



Melittobia Westwood. 



1. Melittobia australica Girault. 



Thirty-six females mounted together on a card in 

 the collections of the Queensland Museum at Brisbane, 

 labelled ,, Parasitic on pupae of a wasp Nr. 17, Bris- 

 bane, H. Hacker." The specimens were in a bad 

 condition, consequently discarded. to be continued.
