190 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



terminal spine. Pedicel longer than wide. Frons broad, cheeks short, mandibles tridentate. 

 Petiole of abdomen nearly as long as the hind coxee. Segments 2 and 3 of abdomen smooth, 

 naked, 4 and 5 each with two rows of minute setigerous punctures, 6 and 7 each with about 

 .five rows of them. Thorax coarsely scaly, axillae finely so; caudo-mesal half of parapsides 

 : sunken (or the representative of the parapsidal furrow) and subglabrous and with a minute 

 fovea a little cephalo-laterad of the middle of its mesocephalic margin; this fovea also some- 

 what before the caudal end of the parapsidal furrows and it gives origin to a very long and 

 slender yellowish seta. Parapsidal furrows mere sutures, distinct, abbreviated caudad, curving 

 off before pronotum, the latter glabrous and with a row of punctures along its cephalic margin ; 

 these punctures give rise to isolated, very long bristles. Propodeum glabrous. Postscutellum 

 very much smoother than scutellum. 



From two females caught by sweeping at 1,000 feet, forest, May 17, 1914 (1 P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Upper Tweed Eiver, New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy 2491, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one of the specimens on a tag; 

 Jhead, fore legs and a hind tibia with type slide of Omphalentedon longus Grirault. 



2. HORISMENELLA VARICOXA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.68 mm. 



Differs from the genotype in having the last two pairs of coxse coneolorous, the hind 

 femur a little dusky above at proximal half, the abdominal petiole yellowish brown, the wings 

 hyaline, the median groove of scutum somewhat shorter, funicle 3 is only somewhat longer 

 than wide, subequal to the pedicel and to 2, somewhat shorter than 1 and the general coloration 

 .is less bright, darker. Compared with type of genotype. Scape metallic at tip above. 



From two females caught in forest, June, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Burnett Heads, Southern Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2492, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, two females on a tag, two heads 

 and a hind tibia on a slide. 



The median carina in this genus is a little divided cephalad. 



In the table of genera, antea, p. 153, it should be noted that Pelorotelopsella should be 

 included with Mestocharoideus, since there are no lateral carinas on the propodeum; lateral 

 sulci replace the carinas. Same place, 153, line 6 from bottom carinas should read carina. 

 In Horismenus antiopa, the lateral and caudal margins of propodeum are strongly carinate, 

 the reticulation of the thorax raised, segment 2 of abdomen glabrous. 



Tribe PEDIOBIINI. 



In the table of genera, antea, p. 156, last line of section I, two should read true; last 

 'line of section III, nigriviridus equals nigriviridis Girault. 



B^FOENTEDON new genus. 



Female: — Form as in Horismenoides Girault. Antennas inserted below the middle of 

 the face, 6-jointed with two ring-joints, the club solid, one funicle joint. Parapsidal furrows 

 not indicated. Scutellum simple. Abdomen short and broad, from dorsal aspect rounded, as 

 wide as the thorax and somewhat shorter, the thorax convex. Venation as in the Omphalini, 

 the stigmal vein very long, the marginal not quite as short as the submarginal. Pronotum not 

 visible from above, the propodeum short, broad, apparently noncarinate, the spiracle minute. 

 Abdomen sessile. Mandibles acute. Hind tibial spur normal. 



Male : — Unknown.
