'270 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



from pronotum narrowly by yellow ; the central green of seutelluni is oval; the green of 

 parapsides does not form a continuous piece with the spot on the axilla, the latter here larger, 

 ■elliptical and isolated from the green of parapsides; the last two stripes on abdomen are 

 also joined along the meson; a green line between each antenna at insertion. Mandibles 

 .about 5- dentate. 



From one female bred from capsules of red gum November 12. 



Habitat: Melbourne, Victoria. 



Type: In the National Museum, Melbourne, the specimen on a tag. 



9. GYROLASELLA PARTICOLOR new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.05 mm. 



Golden yellow, the wings hyaline, except that the stigma! knob is dusky; cephalic half 

 (or somewhat more) of scutum, except along lateral margins, an elliptical spot on scutellum 

 rat middle of base, a smaller but similar spot at apex (cephalad) of each axilla and the 

 propodeum metallic greenish blue, the abdomen with six submetallic cross-stripes equally 

 distributed, narrow and separate. Mandibles with two distinct outer teeth and three or four 

 minute inner ones. A very small, (a mere trace) fuscous area under stigmal knob. Thorax 

 •scaly. Legs pallid, the femora dusky above at base. Hind tibial spur distinct. Antennas 

 dusky yellow, the funicle joints a little wider than long, the second slightly the larger, both 

 distinctly shorter than the pedicel. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping in forest December 9, 1913. 



Habitat: Northern Queensland (Gordonvale near Cairns). 



Type : No. Hy 2663, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide. 



10. GYROLASELLA DUPLOLINEATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.15 mm. 



Intense golden yellow, the wings hyaline, the legs and antennae concolorous (scape not 

 seen). Marked with dark metallic green as follows: Extreme latero-caudal angle of pronotum; 

 median line of scutum (narrowly), except at each end (more toward caudal end); suture 

 between scutum and scutellum (narrow); parapsidal furrows except at each end; median 

 liue of scutellum except at each end (forming a narrow or thin line as on the scutum) ; suture 

 between axilla and parapside (only at mesal end); an elongate wedge near tegula; cephalic 

 and caudal margins of propodeum narrowly, the cephalic line dilated near the spiracle and 

 extending laterad no farther than that, the caudal stripe still less broad; extreme base of 

 abdomen at center and six stripes across abdomen, all thin, 2 and 3 close together, 3 with a 

 small nipple at meson caudad, 6 convexly curved and shorter (i.e., not extending laterad as 

 far as the others which do not quite reach the lateral margin) ; in life, these stripes (1, 4 

 and 5) appear double; also a line of three narrow dots like spiracles or slits, dorso-laterad 

 from cross-stripes 1-4. Thorax scaly; oeellar areas apparently non-metallic; funicle 2 much 

 wider than long, 1 somewhat so. Venation yellow. Vertex sparsely hispid. Mandibles 4 or 

 5- dentate. 



Described from one female caught with particolor. 



Habitat: Northern Queensland (Gordonvale near Cairns). 



Type: No. Hy 2664, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above specimen on a slide. 



11. GYROLASELLA LATEROGUTTATA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.25 mm. 



Honey yellow, the wings hyaline; the legs concolorous. Marked with dark metallic 

 green as follows : A caret-shaped marking on upper face each side ; oeellar spots ; scape and much 

 <of pedicel; distal two thirds of median line of scutum, the line like an inverted exclamation
