the apical joint black. Head globular, somewhat wider than 

 long (dorsal aspect) ; eyes not large, situated low down on the 

 sides of the head. Thorax dorsad convex ; scutellum somewhat 

 convex, but apparently without a median carina, with one 

 large fovea at base ; metanotum with a raised triangular scale 

 at base, its caudo-lateral angles acute. Petiole twice as long 

 as wide, covered with long whitish pubescence ; body of 

 abdomen conic-ovate, without impressions at base, the second 

 segment occupying three-fourths of surface. Forewings 

 reaching a little beyond apex of abdomen ; broad ; practically 

 hyaline ; marginal cilia moderately long ; venation terminating 

 in a triangular marginal vein at basal third of wing. Antennae 

 without a distinct club, but the apical joints somewhat 

 thickened; scape long and slender; basal joints of flagellum 

 somewhat narrowed at base : pedicel one-third longer than 

 wide, the first funicle joint as wide and somewhat longer, fully 

 twice as long as wide; joints 2-5 slightly increasing in length, 

 6-9 a little shortening, the ninth joint subquadrate, a little 

 longer than wide, the apical joint a little longer. Length, 

 2*50 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Cairns district. Several females 

 taken in coastal jungles. 



Ty-pt. — I. 5155, South Australian Museum. A female on 

 a tag, antennae and forewings on a slide. 



Trichopria longiclava, n. sp. 



9 . Like acinninata, but funicle joints 1-3 about sub- 

 equal, a little longer than 4 and 5 : apical joint long, twice as 

 long as preceding ; apical abdominal segments gradually 

 narrowing, the second segment occupying only two-thirds of 

 surface, the abdomen beyond that segment distinctly longer 

 than width across apex of that segment (in acuminata apical 

 abdomen segments abruptly narrowing, the abdomen beyond 

 second segment distinctly wider across apex of that segment 

 than long). Length, 2*55 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland: Cairns district. A very common 

 species in jungles. 



Type. — I. 5156, South Australian Museum. Two females 

 on a tag, antennae on a slide with type appendages of 

 Trichopria affinis. 



Trichopria affinis, n. sp. 



9 . Like acuminata, but scutellum with two foveae at 

 base, separated by a carina ; forewings longer, attaining well 

 beyond apex of abdomen, the marginal cilia shorter ; pedicel 

 stout, only slightly longer than wide, the first funicle joint 

 almost twice as long, thrice as long as greatest width, 2-9
