slightly widening' distad, narrower than the club; 

 pedicel long; scape slender; a very small ring-joint. 

 Eyes somewhat convergent above, the lateral ocelli 

 not quite touching their margins. Axillae cuneate, 

 meeting at the meson. Scutellum simple. Abdomen 

 triangular, short, flat above, the ovipositor not ex- 

 serted. Marginal vein about twice longer than broad, 

 the postmarginal subvestigial, scarcely perceptible; 

 fore wings fumated and with an oblique hairless line. 

 Intermediate tarsi armed beneath with black teeth 

 as in many genera of the Eupelmini but here not 

 quite so densely; posterior tibiae with one spur. 

 Mandibles tridentate, the two outer (lateral) teeth 

 acute, subequal, the inner shorter and truncate. 

 Male: — Not known . 



This genus is somewhat similar to M e n i s c o c e- 

 p h a 1 u s Perkins but bears a different sculpture, 

 fumated wings, a narrower marginal and a longer 

 stigmal, vein; the mandibles are also different. 

 Type: The following species. 

 1. Isodromoides triangularis new species. 

 Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. 

 Black, scarcely metallic but the distal margin of 

 the scutellum verdigris green; tips of tibiae and the 

 tarsi whitish yellow; whole of the anteimae suffused 

 slightly with brownish. Fore wings entirely embrow- 

 ned except proximad out as far as the end of the 

 submarginal vein, the fumation accented under the 

 marginal and stigmal veins. Venation brown. Head 

 and thorax densely finely punctate, the punctures 

 formed by reticulations; axillae smoother. 

 (Prom 6 specimens, similarly magnified.) 

 Male: — Not known. 



Described from six females mounted on a card 

 kindly given to me by Mr. F. P. Dodd of Kuranda, 

 the card labelled "Townsville. Qld. 28. 4. 03, F. P. 

 Dodd" and bearing the fluted cocoon of some lepi- 

 dopterous insect on a grass stem. 



Habitat: Australia-Townsville, Qld. 

 Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, 

 three of the above females mounted on a card plus 

 one slide bearing posterior legs, antennae, a head 

 and a fore wing. Subsequently fifteen more females 

 were obtained bearing the same label and host. 



Later, with the aid of Mi-. A. P. Dodd I was ena- 

 bled to establish the identity of the host of this En- 

 cyrtid as Epipyrops doddi Rothschild, a 

 Tineid parasitic upon Pulgoridae and whose peculiar 

 habits are described in Novitates Zoologicae, XIII, 

 1906, pp. 162 — 169. In the second paragraph of p. 

 166 this statement concerning Isodromoides 

 occurs, "The ichneumons all issue from the one hole, 

 and the earlier ones to emerge are finely powdered".
