surface, 3-6 subequal and each about one-half as long as 2. 

 Otherwise like the female. 



Hab. — Queensland: Cairns district (two males, five 

 females bred from Apanteles cocoons on larvae of Leucania 

 unipuncta, October, 1914, A. P. Dodd). 



Types. — A male and female on a tag, female head on a 

 slide. 



Differs very much from the other Australian species of 

 the genus, puicher, Girault and Dodd, in propodeal 

 characters, that species lacking lateral carinae, but bearing 

 spiracular sulci, also the marginal vein in braconis is much 

 shorter in comparison with the submarginal. 



Pterosemoidea drosophilae, n. sp. 



9- Length, 1*75 mm. Dark aeneous-green; coxae 

 concolorous, the femora and tibiae reddish-yellow, the tarsi 

 paler; antenna! scape reddish-yellow, the pedicel mostly 

 fuscous, the ring joints yellow (the third more or less dusky), 

 the flagellum black. 



Head normal, no wider than the thorax; sculptured like 

 the scutum. Thorax rather stout; scutum densely closely 

 reticulate-punctate, open on pronotum, on scutellum, except 

 at apex, finer and closer than on scutum ; propodeum 

 sculptured like the scutum; pronotum short; parapsidal 

 furrows shallow, obscure, but complete; scutellum large, 

 simple, propodeum rather long, without a trace of a median 

 carina, the lateral carinae delicate and obscure, no distinct 

 spiracular sulci. Petiole short, shorter than the hind coxae, 

 scaly; body of abdomen short and broad, barely twice as long 

 as greatest width and hardly a6 long as thorax; depressed 

 above, convex beneath; pointed at apex; segments 2 and 3 

 combined occupying fully one-half of surface, 2 somewhat 

 longer than 3, 4 distinctly shorter than 3, 4-8 not 

 much unequal ; posterior margin of segment 2 gently 

 convex. Fore wings long ; broad ; hyaline ; for entire 

 length of submarginal vein without discal ciliation, 

 beyond the ciliation normal ; marginal vein distinctly thicker 

 than the submarginal, postmarginal, or stigmal, one-third 

 length of submarginal, distinctly shorter than postmarginal, 

 as long as the long stigmal. Mandibles 3- and 4-dentate. 

 Antennae 13-jointed with three ring and three club joints; 

 scape long and slender; pedicel distinctly longer than any of 

 the funicle joints, one-half longer than wide ; first two ring 

 joints small, the third larger ; funicle 1 somewhat longer than 

 wide, slightly the longest, 5 as long as wide; club normal, 

 joints 1 and 2 wider than long, 2 a little longer than 1.
