2. PSEUDOSPHEGIGASTERUS ALBIPES new species of A. P. Dodd and A. A. Girault 

 Female: — Length, 2.70 mm. 



Differs from the generic description in bearing an obscure cross-carina on the scutellum 

 and in having complete lateral carina* on the long propodeum. 



Dark metallic green, the abdomen bluish, the legs and antennal scape white, the front 

 coxae somewhat dusky, pedicel brown, rest of antennae black. 



Wings hyaline; stigmal vein half as long as the postmarginal, the latter distinctly 

 shorter than the marginal. Thorax polygonally reticulate, the reticulation in raised lines, 

 rather coarser between the carinas of propodeum, the propodeum laterad of the carina, the 

 axillae and scutellum caudad of the suture very finely scaly. Abdomen rather broader than 

 the thorax, conic-ovate, the second segment occupying about one third of the surface. Mandibles 

 3- and 4- dentate. Funicle joints all longer than wide, the first distinctly the longer, the fifth 

 as long as the pedicel, the club with a terminal spur. 



Described from one female caught in jungle, February 11, 1914 (A. P. Dodd). 



Habitat: Babinda, Queensland. 



Type: No. HyS803, Queensland Museum, Brisbane, a female on a tag; head and hind 

 leg on a slide. 



The genotype is a new species. It measures 1.25 mm. and was taken March 12, 1912. 

 The type is on a tag, the head and hind legs on a slide. 



Genus PARACROCLISIS Girault. 

 1. PARACROCLISIS WASHINGTONI Girault. 

 The distal three segments of the abdomen dorsad are finely scaly. Type re-examined. 



ACROCLISOIDES new genus of Girault and A. P. Dodd. 

 Female: — Like Paracroclisis Girault but the propodeum is short, its spiracles are small 

 and rounded, its lateral carinas absent; the postmarginal vein is a fourth longer than the 

 marginal, the latter slightly thickened; stigmal vein nearly as long as marginal, straight, 

 with a large round knob; the fourth abdominal segment not twice as long as the second. 

 Also, the petiole is only a little longer than wide. Head very large. 



1. ACROCLISOIDES MEGACEPHALUS new species of Girault and A. P. Dodd. Genotype. 



Female: — Length, 1.60 mm. 



Head and thorax dark metallic green; first two pairs of coxae concolorous; rest of legs 

 and antennal scape and pedicel golden yellow, rest of antennae black; abdomen dark metallic 

 blue. Pore wings hyaline, with an obscure dusky spot just beneath knob of stigmal vein. 

 Head much wider than the thorax, the vertex narrow, the frons directed cephalad, mandibles 

 4-dentate. Pronotum very short. Parapsidal furrows complete, distinct. Scutellum as in 

 Paracroclisis. Propodeum scaly. Abdominal petiole not slender, not as long as hind coxae; 

 fourth segment occupying a half of the surface (excluding petiole). Antennae 13-jointed, 

 with two ring and three club joints; pedicel scarcely longer than wide, the first funicle 

 joint distinctly longer than pedicel and twice as long as wide. Funicle not clavate, the joints 

 gradually decreasing in length but the last joint plainly longer than wide; the club as long 

 as the two preceding joints united.
