Megastigmus hilli, n. sp. 



9 . Length, 1*95 mm., excluding the ovipositor. Orange- 

 yellow, immaculate except for a narrow black line on suture 

 between axillae and tegulae ; eyes and ocelli garnet ; ovipositor 

 black; legs golden-yellow, also the antennae, the sutures 

 between the joints dark. 



Body stout; head and thorax finely transversely 

 wrinkled, without punctures; propodeum densely coriaceous; 

 scutellum simple, with six long setae; propodeum non- 

 carinate. Abdomen sessile, a little shorter than the thorax; 

 ovipositor exserted for a length equal to one-half that of 

 abdomen. Forewings ample; hyaline; marginal vein some- 

 what longer than the postmarginal, which is somewhat longer 

 than the stigmal. Antennae 13- jointed, with one distinct 

 ring joint, the club 3-jointed; pedicel distinctly longer than 

 funicle 1, which is quadrate, the others wider than long; club 

 almost as long as the three preceding joints united, joints 1 

 and 2 quadrate. 



S . Lemon-yellow, the following parts black : First 

 two pairs of tarsi, a line through meson of scutum and 

 scutellum broadened at posterior third of scutum and more so 

 at posterior half of scutellum, base of propodeum broadly, 

 not reaching far laterally, and produced posteriorly at its 

 lateral extremities, most of tegulae and adjacent suture 

 against axillae, basal third of abdomen dorsally more or less, 

 and a broad transverse band near apex of abdomen. Funicle 

 joints hardly wider than long. 



Hab. — Northern Territory: Darwin (three males, one 

 female, labelled "From galls on Eticalyptus miniatus, 1/7/15, 

 G. F. Hill"). 



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

 slide. 



In Girault's table of species (1915) running to 

 Epi?negastigmus grotiusi, Girault, but differing in the shorter 

 funicle joints as well as the subgeneric characters. 



Family EULOPHIDAE. 

 Neodimmockia, n. g. 



9 . Vertex thin ; the f rons somewhat wider than long, 

 not depressed; eyes large; mandibles 4-dentate. Thorax 

 normal ; pronotum not as long as the scutum ; parapsidal 

 furrows delicate, about one-third complete from anteriorly; 

 scutellum long, without grooves ; axillae not at all advanced ; 

 propodeum rather long, with a faint median carina at base, 

 no other carinae or sulci, the spiracles small. Abdomen short 

 and rather stout; somewhat convex above, more so beneath;
