ACLISTA TASMANICA, n. Sp. 



9 • Very like leai, but smaller ; apical third of second 

 abdominal segment somewhat dusky, not black ; second and 

 third funicle joints a little, yet distinctly, longer than wide ;

Hah. — Tasmania: Mount Wellington (A. M. Lea). 



Type. — I. 5099, South Australian Museum. A female on 

 a t^ag, head and antennae on a slide. 



Pantolytomyia, n. g. 



9 • Head normal for the family, globular, the antennal 

 prominence distinct ; mandibles not prominent ; eyes 

 moderat-ely large, bare; ocelli close together. Thorax as 

 high as wide ; glabrous ; parapsidal furrows deep and 

 complete, wide apart and nearly parallel; scutellum unarmed, 

 with a circular fovea at base ; postscutellum well defined, its 

 caudo-lat^ral angles subacute ; metanotum glabrous, with a 

 median and lateral carinae. Petiole slender, nearly thrice as 

 long as wide, carinate ; body of abdomen somewhat wider than 

 thorax, conic-ovate, pointed at apex, barely twice as long as 

 greatest width, gently convex above and beneath, with a 

 short median depression at base, the second segment occupying 

 fully two-thirds its length. Antennae L'l-jointed, with an 

 ill-defined club of seven or eight joints ; the scape slender, 

 also the proximal funicle joints. Forewings reaching apex of 

 abdomen, broad ; split longitudinally from apex as in Galesns, 

 Curtis, and other Diapriid genera ; submarginal vein close to 

 the costa at base, then curving downwards, joining the costa a 

 little before middle of wing and thus forming a wide costal cell ; 

 marginal vein linear ; the stigmal vein very long for the family, 

 and slender, distinctly longer than the marginal, somewhat 

 oblique ; median vein distinct, curving and joining the 

 submarginal at half the latter's length, and thus forming a 

 well-defined basal cell; no other veins. liindwings with a long 

 costal vein and no others. Abdomen of six segments (counting 

 the petiole as first). 



S . Antennae 14-jointed; pedicel short, the first .funicle 

 joint very long, the others shorter, all normal. Otherwise like
