OoDERELLOiDES, new gen. 



9 . The same as the preceding but with perfect wings, 

 the antennal flagellum (excepting pedicel) wholly black. 

 Marginal vein long and slender, the stigmal and postmarginal 

 subequal, moderate ; forewing infuscated distinctly but 

 lightly. First funicle-joint long, subequal to the pedicel, the 

 ring- joint longer than wide or subquadrate, narrow. Valves 

 of ovipositor exserted for a short distance beyond apex of the 

 abdomen. Somewhat like Paraguay a, but with the ring- joint 

 and only one tibial spur on the posterior legs.

Hah. — Queensland: Cairns (A. M. Lea). 



Type. — I. 1272, South Australian Museum. The above 

 specimen, the legs and an antenna on a slide. 



OODERELLOIDES PAX, new Sp. 



9 . Like the type species, but differing in the following 

 particulars : — The abdomen is more depressed and somewhat 

 longer, the valves of the ovipositor exserted somewhat farther, 

 the exserted portion wholly black, the scutellum is not 

 declivous as in the type and the stigmal vein is slightly 

 shorter, straighter, and stouter. Otherwise, I cannot dis- 

 tinguish them. Scutellum narrow cephalad, broadening dis- 

 tad, wedgeshaped. Length, 4' 10 mm.
