Telenomus orontes, sp. nov. 



9 • Shining-black : antennal scape and pedicel reddish- 

 yellow ; legs reddish-yellow, but the coxae are black, femora 

 almost wholly black. Like oznone, Dodd, but the venation is 

 less distinct ; the marginal vein is two-thirds length of the 

 stigmal, which is paddle-shaped, but is much shorter than in 

 oenone; postmarginal vein twice as long as the stigmal. Length, 

 1*50 mm. 



II ah. — North Queensland: Nelson. Described from one 

 specimen caught by sweeping along streamlet in forest, June 

 29, 1913 (A. A. Girault). 



Type. — I. 2182, South Australian Museum. A female on 

 a slide. 



Telenomus ocntjs, sp. nov. 



9- Like olympus, Dodd, but differs as follows: — The 

 thorax of Olympics is finely rugulose, and the first and second 

 abdominal segments are striate; in ocnus the thorax is finely 

 polygonally sculptured and only the first segment is striate; 

 the coxae are black in ocnus, yellow in olympus; the funicle- 

 joints are a little suffused with brown, and are not so slender, 

 the first twice as long as wide, the second is as long as the 

 first; the forewings are broader, the discal ciliation not so 

 dense, the stigmal vein is very long, and the postmarginal 

 vein is scarcely twice as long as the stigmal. Length, 1'20 mm. 



Hab. — North Queensland: Harvey Creek. Described

 short. Antennae 11-jointed, scape equal to next five joints 

 combined; pedicel twice as long as wide; funicle-joints small; 

 first as long as wide; 2-5 transverse; club 4- jointed, first joint 

 rather small, second the longest and widest. Forewings just 

 reaching apex of abdomen ; rather broad ; a little inf uscated ;
