Dark metallic blue-green, the wings hyaline; abdomen, head and legs golden yellow 

 except hind coxa; abdomen marked with dark metallic green as follows: The whole ventral 

 aspect, the whole dorsal aspect except proximal fourth and two rather large (wider than long) 

 yellow spots longitudinally on each side of the meson in the distal half of proximal half; 

 the yellow proximal fourth bears a narrow cross-stripe of greenish about distal three fourths 

 and is margined with greenish to the cross-stripe but not broadly. Lateral aspect of abdomen 

 golden yellow. A U-shaped green marking over the ocelli. Antennae wholly dusky; f unicle L 

 a little shorter than the club, 3 a little shorter than the pedicel, somewhat longer than wide.

Prom one female captured by sweeping forest, April 3, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy2571, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the female on a tag; head on a. 



slide. 



A second female was captured a few days later in about the same place. 



15. OOTETRASTICHUS PURPUREICORPUS new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.65 mm. Compared with type of gloriosus. 



"Wholly dark metallic purple, the legs (including coxae) white, the scape dusky pallid; 

 rest of antenna black and like those of sublustris but the f unicle joints all longer, 1 being 

 as long as the club. Propodeum with a distinct median carina and no others but the lateral 

 and caudal margins are carinated (apj)arently the same in sublustris) . Abdomen somewhat 

 acuminate toward tip. Closely allied with sublustris from which it differs in general 

 coloration, in having the hind coxae colored like the legs and funicle 1 as long as the club. 

 In both species, the funicle joints gradually decrease in length. Similar in every respect 

 to gloriosus but purple and the flagellum is black (not merely dusky), funicle 3 plainly twice 

 longer than wide, plainly longer than the pedicel. 



From one female caught in jungle, March 1, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy257S, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head on 

 a slide. 



In the table of species, antea. p. 221, line 10 of the table, funicle 3 shoidd read club 2.-
