Alan P. Dodd: 



Genus Macroteleia Westwood. 

 1. Macroteleia angusta Dodd. 



A male of this species was caught by Mr. Girault by sweeping 

 grass in forest, summit of a mountain ränge, 1500 feet, Nelson, 

 N. Q, 30th May, 13. 



Genus Baeoneura Foerster. 



1. Baeoneura elongata sp. nov. 

 Fe male: Length, 1.25 mm. 



Black; apical half of abdomen, yellow; legs, except the coxae, 

 golden yellow; antennal scape and pedicel yellow; funicle joints 

 suffused with brown. 



Structure as in giraulti Dodd but the thorax is distinctly longer 

 than wide. In the description of giraulti, I mentioned that the 

 mesonotum was divided into two areas by a median carina. This 

 is a mistake since it is the metanotum that has the carina. I also 

 said that the antennae were 12-jointed, mentioning that the 

 last club joint was very minute. This is also erroneus, the antennae 

 being only 11-jointed. 



Forewings when closed not reaching apex of abdomen; very 

 narrow; hyaline; longest marginal cilia equal to twice the greatest 

 wing width; discal cilia in about 8 rows; submarginal vein termi- 

 nating a little before the middle of the wing. 



Antennae 11-jointed; pedicel one half longer than wide; funicle 

 joints small, 2nd longer than wide, the others wider than long; 

 club 5-jointed, Ist and 2nd joints small, 3rd joint longer than wide. 



(From 1 specimen, etc.) 



Male: Unknown. 



Described from a single $ specimen caught while sweeping 

 grass in forest, Aloomba (Nelson), N. Q., 7th July, 12 (A. A. 

 Girault). On account of the 11-jointed antennae, the Australian 

 species would appear to be a new genus, but they agree so well 

 in structure with the description of the genus that I think a mistake 

 has occurred in the original description. The genus belongs to the 

 Scelioninae since it has a distinctly carinate abdomen. 



Habit at: North Queensland (Nelson, near Cairns). 



Type: In the South Australian Museum, a $ on a slide. 



Genus Paridris Kieffer. 

 1. Paridris tridentata Dodd. 



Male: First five antennal joints golden yellow; pedicel scarcely 

 longer than wide; Ist funicle joint shorter and narrower than the 

 pedicel; funicle joints 2 — 5 short, wider than long, moniliform, 

 gradually and slightly increasing in width; 5 — 9 subequal, wider 

 than long; last joint longer than wide. Other characters as in the 

 female, previously described.
