particulars: The middle white part of the ovipositor is 
nearly twice the length of either black part ; segments 
Nos. 2-3 of the funicle each slightly exceed the pedicel; 
hind tibiae metallic only above. 
The palpi are black. Segments Nos. 2-4 of the funicle 
are slightly over twice longer than wide, No. 6 square. 
Teeth Nos. 2-3 of the mandible are formed of a wide 
truncation of a second tooth with an emargination. Scape 
slender. Metatarsus long, slightly exceeding Nos. 2 plus 
3. Fore tibiae rather widely yellow apically upon the 
sides. Eyes naked. Spiracle of the abdomen at the apex 
of the penultimate segment. Middle tibial spur subequal 
to the ventral length of joint No. 1 of the second tarsus. 
In the male the fore tibiae, t lie apices of the others, 
the tarsi and the knees are noil-metallic. The male antennae 
have not been seen and this sex is considerably smaller.

I'Jupelmus ma-wsoni Girault soils nov. 
This species has the ovipositor not or barely extruded; 
and there are several varieties, one of which is described 
herewith. The species is paired with incredibHis Girault, 
but that species has the second segment of the funicle 
equal to the pedicel. 
The legs are entirely citrous or lemon colour except 
the fore and hind coxae, no traces of metallic; ovipositor 
brown widely at apex. The lateral ocelli are distinctly 
closer to the eye than to the median. The males are all 
blue except the middle of the sides of the fore tibiae, the 
base of the third tarsus and the fore tarsus for the most 
part. Scape compressed, a true ring-joint present, the 
club solid or unjointed, the first funicle segment a bit 
smaller than the rest, which are subequal to the pedicel 
and a bit longer than wide. Two males and one female 
from Callitris, Moreton Island, September 12, 1908, E.
