their scrobes short, but distinct. Antennae 13-join- 

 ted, subclavate, one ring-joint, the scape short, the 

 pedicel small, not half the size of the first funicle joint 

 which is longest of the funicle ; club three-jointed, 

 ovate. Lateral ocelli not toucliing the eye margins. 

 Scutellum very short, triangular, -without a tuft of 

 hair at apex, with a median sulcus, the axillae very 

 small, very ^\•idely separated, obscure. Abdomen 

 sessile, so much compressed as to be nierelj^ a line 

 from dorsal aspect, as long as the thorax, the ovi- 

 positor not exseited. Mesoscutum impressed, the 

 furrows complete. Middle tibial spur long and stout, 

 two-thnds the length of the middle tarsus, the proxi- 

 mal joint of the latter beneath %\'ith dense black 

 teeth; there are also some of these teeth on succee- 

 ding joints and around the base of the tibial spur. 

 Cephalic femora slightly swollen, unarmed but \vith 

 a line of solitary, stiff hairs. Posterior legs normal, 

 the spur smgle. Wings hyalme, postmarginal vein 

 long, subequal to the marginal and four or more 

 times longer than the stigmal which is well develo- 

 ped. Marginal fringes short. Bod}' metallic, sculp-

Type: Solindenelleus pulchricor- 

 p u s new species.

General color dark metalUc greenish, the long 

 mesoscutel impression and the scutellum distad cop- 

 pery. Marked with right lemon j'^ellow as follows: 

 The head except the centre of the vertex between 

 the lateral ocelli and a broad stripe from side to side 

 (eye to eye) of the occiput; the legs except proximal 

 half of caudal coxae, proximal two-thirds of the 

 caudal femora all of caudal tibia (except at each 

 end), the dusky distal tarsal joint and the tip of the 

 middle tibial spur; proximal third of tegulae; and a 

 whitish band around most of the caudal margin of 

 pronotum (dorsal aspect). An orange yellow, trans- 

 verse-elliptical spot on each side of the meson of pro- 

 podeum, as seen from dorsal aspect just on each 

 side of the apex of the scutellum; the latter \^'ith a 

 thin clump of long white hairs on each side before 

 the apex. Antennae brownish, the scape j^ellow 

 ventrad, the pedicel the same at tip. Head and 

 mesoscutum mth irregular, more or less obscure 

 punctures, the mesonotum densely shagreened or 

 reticulated. Venation dusky. A more or less obscure 

 yellowish stripe near base of abdomen, lateral aspect.

Described from a single female specimen mounted 

 on a tag in the Queensland Museum at Brisbane, 

 labelled "Gall No. 6". 



Habitat: Australia - Queensland (Brisbane). 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 

 the above specimen on a tag. 



Later in the same collection another female was 

 found, labelled "Gall No. 6 Brisbane, Q. H. Hacker,

Episolindelia new genus. 



Female: — Head from cephaUc aspect trian- 

 gular, the scrobicular cavity deep but the front ocel- 



lus remote from it, the antennae inserted slightly 

 below the venti'al ends of the eyes, 13-jointed, one 

 ring-joint, clavate, the joints not long, the flagellum 

 long. Legs normal, the teeth beneath, on the inter- 

 mediate tarsi, not black, the spurs of posterior tibia 

 single. Cephalic femora stout. Cheeks long. Post- 

 marginal vein slightly shorter than the stigmal \vhich 

 is about a third or more the length of the marginal. 

 Abdomen sessile, ovate, slightly compre.ssed, the 

 ovipositor exserted, moderately long. Mandibles tri- 

 dentate. 



Male: — Not known.

 mediate tibiae ringed with black a short distance 

 below the knees, the intermediate femora with a 

 black spot above on one side the same distance before 

 the knees. Wings hyaline. Exserted valves of ovi-
