funicle joint narrower, not twice as long as greatest width ;

Hah. — Queensland : Cairns district. Described from one 

 female caught by sweeping in jungle, 1,200 ft., April 4, 1915 

 (A. P. Dodd). 



Type. — I. 5164, South Australian Museum. A female on 

 a tag, antennae and forewings on a slide. 



Tetramopria, Wasmann. 



A European genus, containing four myrmecophilous 

 species. Two species are herewith included in the genus, but 

 they do not agree very well with the generic characters a^ given 

 by Kieffer, since the petiole is longer and the scutellum is 

 without a large fovea at base. 



Tetramopria longiciliata, n. sp. 



9 . Black, the thorax chestnut-brown, its sides darker ; 

 legs golden-yellow, also the antennae, the apical three or four 

 joints fuscous. Head, viewed from above, pentagonal, the 

 antennae inserted on the vertex against the cephalic margin, 

 the ocelli situated in the centre ; viewed from the side the 

 vertex is regularly convex from occiput to antennal insertion, 

 the eyes situated below an imaginary line drawn from antennal 

 insertion to occiput. Thorax dorsad convex ; parapsidal fur- 

 rows wanting; scutellum somewhat depressed at base, but 

 without a basal fovea, without a median carina ; metanotum 

 tricarinate, its latero-caudal angles acute. Head and scutum 

 "".vith a few long setae. Petiole slender, over thrice as long as 

 wide, densely pubescent ; body of abdomen wdthout impres- 

 sions at base, pointed conic-ovate, the second segment 

 occupying a little more than one-half of surface. Forewings 

 extending well beyond apex of abdomen, rather slender : 

 marginal cilia long, the longest two-thirds as long as greatest 

 wing-width ; discal cilia in about twelve rows ; subhyaline ; 

 venation terminating in a triangular marginal vein somewhat 

 beyond basal third of wing : no basal vein. Antennae 

 12-jointed, long and slender; joints 1-10 slender at base, 

 thickened at apex : scape very long, slender, with scattered 

 long setae, as also next five or six joints ; pedicel over twice 

 as long as greatest width ; first funicle joint a little longer and 

 narrower than pedicel; 2-4 subequal, each a little longer than 

 first : the remainder slightly shortening and widening, the 

 ninth one-third lono^er than wide. Lenoth, 1*80 mm.
