A. A. Girault: 



and pronotum (less so) suffused with orange; head also orange, 

 the Vertex darker. Fore wings with two nearly black bands, the 

 first across from the marginal and postmarginal veins, suberes- 

 centic, its distal margin concave; the second across from the bend 

 of the submarginal vein, both fainter near caudal margin; the 

 blade distad of the apex of the postmarginal vein densely, finely, 

 uniformily ciliate and lightly embrowned; venation brown black; 

 stigmal vein nearly at right angles to the marginal. Legs conco- 

 lorous, except cephalic femora, all knees and tarsi which are brown- 

 ish. Antennae foliaceous, including the scape, greatly com- 

 pressed, concolorous, the 3-jointed club, however, conico-cylin- 

 drical, the sixth or distal joint of the funicle subquadrate but still 

 flat, the pedicel triangulär, minute, the first funicle joint obconic, 

 much the longest of the funicle, the next three joints distinctly 

 much wider than long; no ring-joint, eleven antennal joints. Scu- 

 tum green, body finely sculptured. 

 Male: Unknown. 



Described from a single female captured by sweeping in a forest 

 and in a jungle pocket, September 3, 1912. 



Habit at: Australia — Nelson (Cairns), Queensland. 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimen on a tag and a slide with the head and a fore wing. 



Eupelmini. 



Cerambycobius Ashmead. 

 1. Cerambycobius fax new species. 



Female: Length, 4 mm, exclusive of the long ovipositor 

 which is curved down ward and is a little longer than the abdomen. 

 Metallic green, the abdomen and scutellum purple, the ovipositor 

 brown, its sheaths black; antennae dark purple; tibiae brown 

 except above, the tarsi brown. Fore wings deeply infuscated, the 

 fumation divided through the middle of a clear line. Post marginal 

 vein a third longer than the stigmal. Posterior tibiae with one spur. 

 Face deeply excavated above antennae, the excavation smooth 

 and shining, the cephalic ocellus distant from it, the lateral ocelli 

 closer to the cephalic one than to the eye margin, before the cephalic 

 ocellus a subquadrate, smooth depression and a fovea behind each 

 lateral ocellus; Vertex rather coarsely punctate; eyes with barely 

 perceptible hairs, practically naked. Body with a sculpture like 

 that of species of Tetrastichus. Axillae just touching inwardly. 

 Scape extending far beyond the Vertex, foliaceously dilated or 

 compressed but not convexed, the foliation uniform and distinct; 

 first funicle joint shorter than the pedicel, not much longer than 

 wide, the second and third joints longest, subequal, longer than 

 the pedicel, the other joints shortening but all longer than wide; 

 club 3-jointed, 13 antennal joints, no ring-joint. Antennae inserted 

 near the middle of the face. Head wider than long.
