A. A. Girault: 



scutellum has five grooved lines and is very finely longitudinally 

 lineolated. Propodeum with a v-shaped carina and a short hoodlike 

 neck. The head is triangulär from cephalic aspect. Petiole of 

 abdomen distinctly longer than wide, the abdomen short and stout, 

 ovate, the second and third segments longest. Fore wings infuscated, 

 the marginal vein nearly twice the length of the submarginal, the 

 postmarginal absent. 



Male: Not known. 



Type: The following species. 



1. Ceratoneuronella nigriventris new species. 



Female: Length, 2 mm. 



Yellowish red, the base of the scutellum lemon yellow, the 

 body of the abdomen black, the petiole red like the thorax, legs 

 concolorous, the posterior coxa with a linear black spot down the 

 lateral side; scape pale, the pedicel yellowish, the funicle and club 

 suffused with dusky. Fore wing with a large, subovate smoky 

 spot centrally under the distal part of the venatiön, the sharp 

 end pointing distad. Funicle 1 much longer than the pedicel, the 

 second nearly as long as the first, the third oval and short er ; third 

 club joint short, its base oblique, its apex an acute spinelike pro- 

 jection. Scutum sculptured as in species of Tetrastichus. 



Male: Not known. 



Described from one female captured by sweeping in a jungle 

 pocket, May 11, 1913 (A. A. G.). 



Habitat: Australia — Nelson (Cairns), North Queensland. 



Type: In the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, the above 

 specimen on a tag and a slide with the posterior legs, a pair of 

 wings and an antenna. 



In the thoracic grooves, sculpture and absence of the post- 

 marginal vein this genus appears to be truly tetrastrichine but 

 the long marginal vein would make it appear an entedonine. Its 

 position is, therefore, more or less uncertain. 



Elaehertini. 



Ascotolinx new genus. 

 Female: Head about as long as wide, the antennae inserted 

 below the middle of the face, 9-jointed, with two ring-joints, the 

 club 3-jointed, two petiolate funicle joints both of which are 

 longer than the pedicel; scutellum with a grooved line near each 

 lateral margin; propodeum with a broad, smooth median carina 

 which narrows caudad, also with a narrow lateral carina, the surface 

 very finely shagreened as in the thorax of Tetrastichus. Second 

 abdominal segment occupying nearly half of the surface, the 

 following segments short. Postmarginal vein as long as the stigmal, 

 the submarginal not distinctly broken, not as long as the marginal. 

 Scutellum with a transverse suture before apex. Abdomen a 

 little longer than the thorax, flat above, conic-ovate.
