pedicel long and slender, distinctly longer than wide and not cupshaped and the funicle joint 

 somewhat longer. 



Habitat : Brisbane and Eoma, Queensland. 



Type: No. HyS423, Queensland Museum, one of the Eoma females on a slide; the 

 second one was typical. 



3. OLIGOSITA INERMICLAVA new species. 

 Female: — Length, 0.85 mm. 



Differs from poincarei in that there are five cross-stripes cf dusky on the abdomen, the 

 first faint, the antennal club is without a prominent terminal spine, the pedicel is elongate, nearly 

 twice the length of the funicle joint, the scutum bears a long, spindle-shaped dusky marking 

 or. each side of meson and the fore wings are hyaline, their marginal cilia somewhat shorter. 

 From brevicilia differs in having the abdominal stripes complete, the scutum yellow except for 

 the spindle-shaped markings, the funicle joint somewhat longer than wide, not distinctly wider 

 than long, the hyaline wings and the more regular alignment of the diseal ciliation of the fore 

 wing; also the longer ovipositor which is inserted at about middle of abdomen. Sides of thorax 

 black. Caudal wings very narrow. Stigmal spot small, distinct. Distal club joint longest,, 

 distinctly longer than the funicle which is somewhat longer than wide, somewhat longer than 

 club 1. A'enter of abdomen on each side of ovipositor to margins, black. Antennas dusky, the- 

 legs pallid dusky. Compared with types of poincarei and brevicilia. 



Described from one female taken in forest, May 18, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordouvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy242S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



4. OLIGOSITA PULLICORPUS new species. 

 Female: — Length, 0.45 mm. 



Exactly similar to pulchra but the whole body dusky black, the legs and antenna? dusky- 

 pallid, the hind femur dusky, the pedicel rather long. The diseal cilia of the fore wing appear 

 to be sparser than in pulchra, only a line or two being made out (high power). Mandibles- 

 bi dentate. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from one female captured in forest, June 30, 1912. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type : No. Hy 2424, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a slide. 



5. OLIGOSITA BREVICILIA new species. 



Female: — Length, 0.70 mm. 



Pale golden yellow and in my table of Australian species running to aurea but the 

 abdomen bears four dusky cross-stripes, the fourth complete, the other three represented by 

 three pairs of transverse marginal spots. Vertex, sides of propodeum, scutum except lateral 

 margins and the median line distinctly, scutellum except median line distinctly, dusky black. 

 Wings uniformly, distinctly yet lightly dusky. Caudal legs and cephalic femur dusky. Antennas 

 wholly dusky. Longest marginal cilia of fore wing somewhat less than half the greatest width 

 of those wings. Further differs from aurea in having distinctly wider fore wings, in having 

 the funicle joint distinctly wider than long, much shorter marginal cilia on fore wing and the 

 much shorter ovipositor which is inserted at distal fourth. Fore wings with about a dozen 

 lines of distinct diseal cilia. Differs from pullicorpus in the broader wings, shorter marginal 

 cilia, uniformly infuscated fore wing, shorter ovipositor and so forth, and in lacking a terminal 

 spine on club (which is long and distinct in pullicorpus) . In aurea the stripes on abdomen are 

 very obscure and the club bears no distinct terminal spine. Stigmal spot very small. From 

 poincarei differs in coloration, slender Kings, smaller substigmal spot, absence of terminal seta 

 on club (long and stout in poincarei), shorter ovipositor and so on. Mandibles tridentate..
