314 MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 



either, longest, 2 and 3 together occupying half of the surface. Femora concolorous. The 

 general coloration may be brighter in individuals. Common on windows at Gordonvale. On 

 May 11, 1914, at this latter place, this species was abundant in a box of seed corn infested 

 with a common grain weevil (Calandra) and obtained from a local grocer. Formerly, I had 

 seen it abundant in other lots of this corn received from the same grocer and infested with the 

 same weevil (most probably granaria but not critically examined). The spiracular sulci are- 

 present. Pubescence not especially noticeable. The lateral carina is short, nearly wholly 

 transverse and originates at the lateral side of the fovea at cephalic margin of propodeum. A 

 rather common species. Types re-examined. 



2. APLASTOMORPHA SAGA new species. 

 Female: — Length, 2.75 mm. 



Bather bright metallic green, the coxse concolorous, the legs white, but the last two pairs 

 of femora brownish black. Scape reddish brown. Differs from australiensis in having the 

 lateral carina? complete, not curving to form a cross-earina. Antennas black, the pedicel not 

 quite as long as the distal funicle joint which is somewhat wider than long, the joint 

 preceding it quadrate; third club joint much the shortest. Clypeus longitudinally striate. 

 Marginal, postmarginal, and stigmal veins are a little longer than with australiensis but of 

 the same relative lengths. Parapsidal furrows incomplete. Much brighter than australiensis. 

 Segments 2, 7 and 5 of abdomen longest, 3 and 4 short, none long. 



Male : — Unknown. 



Described from one female from a gall on Eucalyptus, forest, November 1, 1913. The 

 specimen of australiensis formerly recorded from miscellaneous galls was this species. 



Habitat: Gordonvale (Cairns), Queensland. Gall on Eucalyptus. 



Type: No. HyS763, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above female on a tag, the 

 head and caudal legs on a slide. 



"This species is at once distinguished from pulchra Girault and Dodd by having a long 

 slender abdomen, the latter much longer than the thorax." (A. P. Dodd.) 



3. APLASTOMORPHA PULCHRA new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 



Female: — Length, 2.25 mm. 



Agreeing with the generic description, except that the lateral carinas on the proijodeum 

 are present and distinct. 



Brilliant metallic blue-green, the coxee concolorous; abdomen suffused with brown; eyes- 

 garnet; rest of legs and antennal scape golden yellow; pedicel and ring-joints dusky yellow; 

 flagellum black. Wings hyaline, the venation golden yellow. Thorax densely punctate; 

 parapsidal furrows two thirds complete. Abdomen no longer than the thorax; second segment 

 occupying almost one third of the surface; third not one half as long; 4-6 subequal, each 

 longer than third. First funicle joint distinctly longer than the pedicel, distinctly longer than 

 wide; 2-5 wider than long; club not much longer than wide; ring-joints rather small. 



Male: — Not known. 



Described from one female caught by sweeping grass and foliage, forest, January 29,. 

 19] 3 (A. A. Girault). 



Habitat : Townsville, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2764, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag, the head and 

 a hind leg on a slide.
