Subfamily SPHEGIGASTERIN.E. 



Tribe ASAPHINI. 

 Genus ORMYROMORPHA Girault. 

 This genus belongs to the Asaphini; the abdomen bears a very short petiole. 



1. ORMYROMQRPHA GLABRA new species. 



Female: — Length, 1.70 mm. 



The same as the genotype but smaller, the abdomen is impunctate and almost glabrous : 

 (cephalic half of segments after 3 faintly scaly), the propodeum bears many two-thirds 

 complete rugae from cephalic margin and which anastomose, the distal margin of middle stripe 

 of fore wing is also convexed. Propodeum with a distinct neck. Funicle joints increasing 

 slightly in succession distad. Postmarginal vein slightly longer than the stigmal. Pubescence 

 normal in all three species, or nearly so. Segment 2 of abdomen somewhat longer than 3, not 

 especially long. Tuft of pubescence on propodeum laterad of the spiracle. Caudal coxae- 

 imperial purple. Postmarginal and stigmal veins elongate, subequal to marginal. Antennae 

 inserted below the middle of the face, at the elypeus. 



Prom one female caught October 11 (H. Hacker). 

 Habitat: Brisbane, Queensland. 



Type: No. Hy 2786, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head and 

 hind leg on a slide. 



OEMYEOMOEPHELLA new genus. 



Differs from Onnyromorpha in that the scutellum bears a distinct cross-suture before- 

 apex. Postmarginal and stigmal veins subequal, elongate, a little shorter than the marginal. 

 Abdominal petiole distinct but short. Antenna? inserted at the elypeus. Head convex, a little 

 wider than long. Mandibles tridentate. 



I. ORMYROMORPHELLA BIARGENTINOTATA new species. 

 Female: — Length, 3 mm. 



Dark aeneous green, the wings trifasciate, the antennae brownish yellow, also first two- 

 pairs of knees, first two tibiae at tips, first two pairs of tarsi, cephalic tibiae except dorsad and 

 intermediate three joints of caudal tarsi. First joint of middle tarsus and a transverse dash 

 from each lateral margin, base of segment 3 of abdomen, silvery white. Thorax finely scaly 

 reticulate, the scutellum distad of transverse suture and the postscutellum glabrous, the- 

 propodeum densely, rather minutely or finely rugulose. Head scaly like the scutum. Cephalie 

 third of segments of abdomen after 3, scaly. Petiole wider than long, glabrous (dorsad) ; 

 base of meson of segment 2 of abdomen with about five short sulci. Hind coxa scaly, the caudal 

 femur rather stout. Third or apical stripe of fore wings no longer than the proximal, the 

 large middle stripe from whole of postmarginal vein, its distal margin passing a little distad 

 of apex of stigmal vein. King-joints increasing in length distad; funicle 1 longest, quadrate, a 

 little over half the length of the pedicel. 



Prom one female caught by sweeping forest uplands, May 30, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Maclean (Clarence River), New South Wales. 



Type: No. Hy2787, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the specimen on a tag; head, a fore 

 wing and a hind tibia with slide type of Ormyromorpha glabra.
