202 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



long hairs from pustules (in a whorl proximad on funicle 1). Caudal wings acuminate, 

 with only about four lines of sparse discal cilia, the caudal marginal cilia nearly as long 

 as those of the fore wing. Parapsidal furrows complete. Funicle 1 somewhat over twice 

 longer than wide. 



Prom one female captured in jungle, June 3, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2514, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



9. ACHRYSOCHARIS CLARISCUTELLUM OCCIDENTALIS new variety. 



Female: — Length, 1 mm. 



Similar to the typical form with the type of which I have compared it but smaller,, 

 the scutellum less sculptured, the sculpture distinct only around the lateral margins narrowly 

 (riot broadly distinct there as in the type form), the fore wings bear about sis lines less of 

 discal cilia and the two funicle joints are shorter, only slightly longer than wide. Otherwise 

 the same. In both forms, the scape is white for a little over proximal half. 



From one female captured in forest, April 14, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Cloneurry, Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2515, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



10. ACHRYSOCHARIS ATRIPES new species. 

 Female: — Length, 1.25 mm. 



Very similar to the type specimen of nigripes but differing markedly in the wings 

 as follows: The fore wings are slenderer, their discal ciliation less dense (only about 17 lines 

 across the widest part; in nigripes about double that number), the stigmal vein shorter; 

 the hind wings are acutely pointed, obtusely so in nigripes. The cephalic tibia is yellowish 

 at distal half. Marginal vein longer than the submarginal in both species. The antennas 

 in atripes are somewhat more compact than in nigripes. Abdomen conic-ovate, longer than; 

 the rest of the body. Scape curved, all of antenna concolorous, the mandibles tridentate. 



Male : — Unknown. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in forest, December 4, 1913. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 3459, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide. 



11. ACHRYSOCHARIS VARICOLOR Girault. 

 Achrysocharis magnifica varieolor Girault. 



Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. Abdomen pointed conic, longer than the rest of the body. 



Like magnifica Girault but the scutellum and axilla? without metallic green, also the 

 propodeum. Extreme tip of abdomen slightly colored and the base of abdomen with ai 

 narrow cross-stripe of metallic (a half or more shorter than in pulchra for instance, or in 

 magnifica). The general coloration is very pale yellow. 



Male : — Unknown. 



Described from four females reared from cecidomyiid galls on Careya australis,. 

 December, 1912 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Types: No. Hy3459, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, three of the foregoing females on- 

 a. tag together.
