Genus NEOTRICjJAPOROIDES Girault. 

 This genus is confirmed. 



1. NEOTRICHAPOROIDES UNIGUTTATUS Girault. 

 See Tetrastichomorpha flava, antea. Female: Length, 2.20 mm. The median carina 

 ■of propodeum forks at apex. Funicle 1 over four times its own width, somewhat shorter than 

 the club. Sculpture normal. The type was captured in forest, May 3, 1913 and is on a tag, 

 the head on a slide. Other females have been captured in the type locality, July 7, 1932 and 

 April 20, 1914. There are four ring-joints. 



2. NEOTRICHAPOROIDES FLAVIPRONOTUM new species. 



Female:— Length, L30 mm. 



Agreeing with the description of Trichaporoidella eleganta Girault but the whole of 

 the dorsal thorax except the pronotum is dark metallic green and only the base of abdomen 

 and the lateral margin along nearly proximal half are metallic green. Ocellar area green; 

 funicle and club black. Second ring-joint extremely short. Propodeum with a strong median 

 carina; no true lateral carina?; a yellow area on propodeum just laterad of spiracle. Part 

 of vertex caudad of ocelli, distal half of scape above and dorsal pedicel metallic green. 



From three females captured in forest, March 31 and April 3, 1914. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2631 < Queensland Museum, Brisbane, one of the specimens on a tag. 



Caudal margin of pronotum at meson green sometimes. Lateral part of propodeum 

 narrowly yellowish. On April 9, 1914 two females at Townsville, Queensland (A. P. Dodd). 



3. NEOTRICHAPOROIDES DECORA (Girault). 

 Removed from Trichaporoidella. Second ring-joint very short. Type slide re-examined. 

 In a second female taken in the type locality, April 13, 1913 (forest), it was seen that there 

 is a carina just laterad of the spiracle on propodeum but true lateral carina) are absent. 



4. NEOTRICHAPOROIDES FRATER new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.75 mm. Scutum naked. Funicle 3 much longer than wide. 



Exactly similar to Trichaporoidella particolor Girault but stouter and blue (the yellow 

 ■orange) and of the head only the oral area is yellow and the legs are not white but deep 

 orange yellow except hind coxa) above at proximal half. Funicle 1 subequal to club, 3 to the
